How our Bereavement Service can help Support is provided from diagnosis, pre-death, post-death and is ongoing throughout the bereavement process. This support is offered not only to our in-patients in the Helen McArdle Wing and day care clients, but we also accept referrals from the community. Appropriate community referrals received by our Family Support Co-Ordinator will have an assessment arranged to identify any need for counselling or other support. We offer one to one, face to face support at Willow Burn Hospice for adults and children. Virtual, online and telephone sessions can be arranged in exceptional circumstances. For further information, please call: 01207 529 224 Afterthoughts Service Our Afterthoughts Service provides the opportunity to explore your loved one’s journey at Willow Burn.
