Averil Phillips & Family

Grief and mental health are closely linked, and it’s okay to talk about both.

Loss can affect us in ways we don’t always expect. It can bring sadness, anxiety, anger, numbness, or exhaustion. Sometimes, all at once, and those feelings don’t follow a timeline.

On World Mental Health Day, we want to remind anyone who’s struggling:-
💙 Your feelings are valid.
💙 You are allowed to ask for help.
💙 And you don’t have to carry it alone.

Whether it’s speaking to a friend, reaching out to a support group, or talking to someone professionally...starting the conversation is often the first step.

We are here if you need someone to talk to, and we can help signpost you to additional support if needed.

Whether through miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal loss, or the death of a child in early life, the pain is real, the love is lasting, and the grief often silent.

Every life, no matter how short, matters.
Every name, every moment, every memory, remembered and held with care.

If this week feels heavy for you, please know that you are not alone, and we are here if you need someone to talk to.

A new month, a change in season - Autumn can be a comforting time, but it can also bring moments that feel more emotional or reflective, especially for those who are grieving.

Remember, we are here to support you. Whether you need practical guidance or just someone to talk to, you are always welcome to reach out.

We know that thinking ahead can be challenging, but it can also bring peace of mind.

A prepaid funeral plan gives you control over your wishes and takes the pressure off your family later on.

If you have been thinking about planning for the future, we are just a phone call away, and our team is always happy to talk through your options and help you make the right decisions for you.

Autumn often brings a shift in the seasons and sometimes within ourselves.

For those who are grieving, this time of year can bring memories to the surface in quiet and unexpected ways.

It’s not always easy, but you don’t have to go through it alone.

We offer free monthly bereavement support sessions in each of our three offices. They are open to anyone who’d like a space to talk, reflect, or be with others who understand.

If you would like more details or want to ask any questions, give us a call, we are here to help.

Today we pause to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and remind anyone struggling - you are not alone.

If you're finding it hard to cope, please talk to someone - a friend, a professional, or a helpline like Samaritans (116 123).

We’re not part of a national chain, and that’s something we’re proud of.

When you call us, you speak to someone who knows your name, your wishes, and your story.

That kind of care can’t be rushed, and we wouldn’t do it any other way.
