ONLINE BEREAVEMENT SUPPORT GROUP

These groups have been run on a regular basis since the Covid pandemic. The next one is planned for the end of October, for ten sessions. There is no charge.

The sessions are 90 minutes, from 4.30 to 6.00 pm on Tuesdays, starting 28th October 2025.

They are open to anyone in the UK who is experiencing grief and who feels this might help. All applicants are interviewed to explain in greater detail what happens, and answer any questions they may have.

Chat with a qualified bereavement counsellor for free.
We understand that no one can fully comprehend your experience of loss. However, we also know that talking to someone outside your friends and family can sometimes make it easier to deal with grief and the impact of bereavement.
That's why we offer the GriefChat service to anyone experiencing grief, no matter when your loss occurred, free of charge.

MuchLoved Tribute Pages: A Special Place to Remember

When someone close to us dies, we might look for ways to remember them, to share stories, and to keep memories of them close. A MuchLoved tribute page gives you a dedicated space to do just that—somewhere you can return to, whenever you need.

With a tribute page, you can:
🌟 Share photos and messages
🕯️ Light candles to show your support
💙 Collect donations in their memory

It’s easy and free to use, and offers a way for family and friends to come together in remembrance.

Watch MuchLoved's short video to see how it works 💜

🎵 Did you know that you can add pieces of music to your tribute page? Those songs that your loved one cherished or makes you think of them...

Listening to a certain melody can evoke vivid recollections, acting like an auditory time machine. You might recall your first dance or a summer road journey...

What songs do you put on when you want comfort or want to reminisce?
