“The Lord is close to the broken-hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit” Psalm 34:18

Support in Bereavement is an initiative of Torch Help Hub in partnership with AtaLoss.org and local churches. This initiative has developed from the work and insights of Torch and the Parish Nurse working alongside and listening to the communities across Reading.

A number of local Churches already offer support to those who have suffered loss in bereavement by running The Bereavement Journey® developed by AtaLoss. This is a seven-session series of films and discussion groups that gently guide people bereaved at any time through the most common aspects of grief and bereavement, enabling them to process the implications for themselves and discern next steps.

Usually run by churches, the course uniquely offers a seventh session on faith questions in bereavement, provided from a Christian perspective. This follows the six main sessions and is optional, making The Bereavement Journey® suitable for people of any faith or none. The course is offered in partnership with AtaLoss and for details of local courses see the  Community Support Hub for details.
