Support with Bereavement

Losing someone close to you can be one of the hardest things you’ll ever experience in life, but it isn’t something that you have to go through alone. Our support can be accessed by anybody who has been bereaved – no matter how long ago this loss was.

Our sepsis support nurses understand only too well how quickly sepsis can kill and how devastating such a tragic loss can be. We are here to help you understand what happened to your loved one and to try and answer your questions. Talk to us by calling our sepsis helpline on 0808 800 0029 or contact us by email.
