Coping with grief
[Please note]
Grief can be a dreadful and a lonely experience. The greatest help comes from family and friends - who will themselves be
sharing your grief. And there are many other sources of support.
Please note
Practical help:
If I should die - a
great deal of practical information, including arranging a funeral, memorial
pages, grief, and support groups.

- We have concentrated on British sites and groups, though for entirely
internet services this seems largely irrelevant.
- We would be particularly keen to add to this list, keep links up to
date, put in personal experience, and to improve the information as best we
can. Suggestions welcome to PaulBagshaw@ordsallparish.plus.com
