Our Emergency Department is very busy right now and some people are experiencing long waits. If you do not require emergency care, please use an alternative such as 111 online.
When someone dies there are many decisions and arrangements to be made which can be upsetting at what is already such a sad time.
To support families during this painful stage, the hospital has carefully put together a booklet entitled ‘Help for you following bereavement’ which contains help and advice to overcome the immediate and long term effects of dealing with grief, as well as being an aid to the practicalities associated with the loss of a loved one.
Many people find that making a donation in their loved ones memory really helps them come to terms with their loss whilst others consider organ donation as a way of helping others and bringing meaning to the death of a loved one. Find out more about organ donation from the NHS Organ Donation Website.
