Upcoming Grief Aware Course

Upcoming Grief Aware Course
last updated on: January 9, 2025

The next Grief Awareness Course, (designed and delivered by our bereavement support partners Prodigal Connect) starts Thursday, 16th January from 1:00pm – 2:30pm at the ‘Old Court House’ Fletton, part of our funeral home!

The sessions are relaxed and informal, offering a safe space to explore what grief is and how it finds expression.

These free-to-attend sessions run for five consecutive weeks, with each session lasting 90 minutes and will be lead by Sid and Deb Bridges.

Each of the five sessions follow the same ‘explore, reflect, restore’ format, designed to support you as you remember.

Explore: over the five weeks we talk about what grief is and think about the purpose of grieving, we look at some theories of grief and consider whether they make sense in reality and we spend some time identifying the varied factors that are all a normal response to Grief.

Reflect: we create space each week for those that wish to share personal experiences and/or for personal reflection about the ideas and concepts presented

Restore: we use our unique ‘Coaching Triangle’ to reflect on how we navigate our own grief journey in a healthy way.

There are still a few spaces left! If you’d like to join us, please visit Prodigal Connect website and book in at: https://www.prodigal.org.uk/book-in

Testimonials

As a church organist, I have had a lot of dealings with funeral directors. I can honestly say that Smiths are the best I have encountered - when it came to my mum's funeral, they were absolutely terrific. Everything was done with not only tact and sensitivity, but also perfect efficiency. I would add that their charges are very reasonable. Heartfelt gratitude to them.

David Pattrick

On behalf of my family I just want to say a big thankyou to Smiths Funeral Directors. They made a very difficult task a lot easier. Arrangements were easy and we felt very comforted. We were kept informed every step of the way.

The day itself was handled professionally and personally. I could not give a higher recommendation.

A friendly well organised local family business that definitely know their business. Thank you to all your staff.

Simon Husbands

At every stage of what was a real difficult time, Ian, Ruth and their team gave us magnificent advice and support. Our family could not have wished for better service. Thank you.
