Communication from Avon Local Medical Committee about GP Collective Action

Bereavement

Bereavement is an incredibly difficult and personal experience, and we understand that coping with the loss of a loved one can feel overwhelming.

At Pioneer, we are here to support you during this challenging time. We want to remind our patients that they are not alone and that there are resources available to help them through their grief journey.

We encourage you to explore local bereavement support groups and organisations, which can provide a safe space for sharing experiences and finding solace among others who understand. Additionally, if you feel that your grief is becoming too much to bear or if you need extra support, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. Our compassionate team is here to listen, offer guidance, and provide any necessary referrals. Remember, you don't have to face this alone.
