Bolton Hospice is committed to supporting family and friends throughout their contact with the Hospice, and this includes support after a patient has died.
Reverend Elizabeth Davies, a Church of England priest based at the Hospice, is the Bereavement Support Co-ordinator.
She is assisted by staff and volunteers in Bereavement Support.
How we can help
Following a terminal diagnosis we can help patients, families and friends talk about issues raised. We may also help in planning a funeral.
About four weeks after bereavement we contact each family and remind them that we do offer Bereavement Support.

What is Bereavement Support?
It might mean spending some time together with a member of staff or a trained volunteer, on the telephone or at the Hospice. We also offer monthly informal support sessions at the Hospice, where small groups meet to share their experiences and support one another. Our volunteers help at these sessions, not just with refreshments, but also by taking part in the discussions.
If you would like to discuss any issues around bereavement,
please contact the Hospice on 01204 663066.
