Cruse Bereavement
From The Bandstand talks with Frances McMahon of Cruse Bereavement Care.
Cruse is a charity that provides support for those who are suffering as a result of bereavement.
The death of a family member of friend is one of the most harrowing experiences we can endure. No one is immune to this.
It will touch all our lives at some point.
The feeling of loss and isolation is overwhelming. Grief can be like a boat that has broke away from it’s anchoring. We have to keep going for all the other people that are around us but we are adrift inside.
Not everyone will experience the same emotions after the death of a loved one and it is never too late to ask for help.
Cruse is a national organisation with a centre in Newry.
Check out France’s interview From The Bandstand above in which she tell us about the work Cruse does and the facilities and services that are available.
