What Happens When Someone Dies?

The period following the death of a partner or death of a household member can be one of the most stressful and traumatic times for people to cope with.  Along with feelings of grief and loss there are many practical considerations to deal with.  

 

On these pages we have tried to offer straightforward advice about the steps that need to be taken, and provide some useful links and information.  For many bereaved people dealing with practical situations, such as arranging the funeral and notifying relevant organisations, can help them begin to work their way through the grieving process.  We accept, however, that for other people the whole experience can be very traumatic and they do not feel that they are ready to cope with anything at all.  We hope that these pages will offer some support and guidance.
