Jigsaw4u’s Pre and Post Bereavement Support Service offers compassionate, expert support for children, young people (aged 0–18), and their families who are affected by a life-limiting illness or bereavement of a family member or loved one.
Our experienced team provides a range of therapeutic interventions, including:
- One-to-one sessions tailored to individual needs
- Early Support for those facing illness or recent loss
- Family meetings to help families navigate grief together
- Group work for shared experiences and peer support
We also offer training and expert advice to community partners and professionals working with bereaved children and families.
Our service operates across Merton, Sutton, and Croydon, supporting local families with understanding, empathy, and practical strategies for coping with grief and loss. We welcome self-referrals and strive to respond promptly to all requests for help.
Feedback from our service users highlights the positive impact of our support:
- “The support has helped me to see what I was feeling was normal, and by talking through it has helped me be more focused on work and feel better in terms of everyday.”
- “It validated my feelings and reduced the guilt I felt for having a different mind-set to my peers.”
- “You are amazing. Thank you so much. It's as though a huge weight has been lifted. Not just for me but for my son too.”
There is no charge for this service. We are here to help you and your family put the pieces back together after loss.
To access support, simply contact us by phone, email, or via our online referral form. We are committed to providing a safe, welcoming, and confidential space for all families in our service area.
