Summary
Leading / Assisting social groups for people of all ages, who have experienced bereavement.Detailed description
Schedule - Tuesday 10:30 - 12:00
Bereavement is something that can affect a person at any stage of their life. Norfolk Library and Information Service are setting up a series of regular ‘Bereavement cafes’ which will create a space for people who have been bereaved to come together.
The focus is not on offering bereavement counselling as there are many excellent services which already offer in depth support. The aim of a bereavement café is to provide a friendly space where customers can sit and talk and find new connections with others; who they know will have also experienced the death of someone close to them. There is no right or wrong topic of conversation. People may choose to talk about the weather, gardening or what they have been reading. If they wish to talk more openly about the person they are missing, that is also fine.
