Bereavement is one of the toughest life events many of us ever face and this experience can feel even more bleak during this unprecedented time of global disruption. Coping with the many emotions that accompany grief can be overwhelming at the best of times but the post-pandemic challenges of the cost of living crisis have placed even more pressure on support organisations and individuals. added isolation and lack of traditional support systems into the mix. We are very mindful here at Tovey Bros that although our free bereavement support group programme, STEPS, runs several times a year, we do not offer a crisis service so would encourage anyone in need of urgent bereavement support to contact the crisis counselling line SAIF Care on 0800 917 7224 or email help@saifcare.org.uk. SAIF Care Chat is also an option via an online chat box available from the SAIF website and can be reached at https://saif.org.uk/about-saif/saif-care/
