A good place to start if you’re interested in learning to actively listen and support people

What does a Bereavement Volunteer actually do?

Sometimes, it's simply about being there.

When someone is grieving, they may not need someone to fix things. They may need someone who will:

💜 Listen
💜 Give them space to talk
💜 Help them understand what they're experiencing
💜 Offer support without judgement
💜 Remind them they're not alone

Mary has been supporting people through grief with Cruse since 2006. She says "It’s about listening, patience and being able to sit alongside someone in their darkest moments."
