KEMP Hospice Bereavement Service offers bereavement advice, support and signposting to residents in the Wyre Forest Area who are looking for help. We support adult, children and young people bereaved due to a variety of circumstances and are a useful point of contact for bereavement support across the whole Wyre Forest Community. We offer a series of free one-to-one counselling sessions to talk through your experience and the many varied aspects of grief and emotions surrounding it. We offer a safe, non-judgmental place for you to express your feelings to someone independent of your usual support network of friends and family.
