Cruse Bereavement Care Norwich

Really delighted that Chad is going to hold a gig to raise some funds for us, thank you so much for choosing to support us and the work of our volunteers.

We’ve joined forces with Ashton’s Legal and would like to invite you to a quiz night. It’s taking place from 6.45pm on Friday 10th May at East Anglia Tennis & Squash Club. Teams of 4, tickets are £40 per team to be paid in advance. Not only will it be a great night, you will be helping raise money to support bereaved people in the local area. For full details or to book your team please email norwichcrusefundraiser@outlook.com or call 07392 080 994.

"Grief is like one of those things, like falling in love or having a baby...you don't get it, until you get it, until do you do it.
"You understand that what you are experiencing is not a moment in time, it is not a bone that will reset, but you have been touched by something chronic, something incurable. It's not fatal, but sometimes grief feels like it could be."
In 2014, writer and podcaster Nora McInerny had a miscarriage and her father and husband died within a month of each other from cancer. She shares her experience in a powerful TED video.

Join us and the very talented Rambling Rose Florist for an evening where you will learn how to make your very own spring themed floral table centerpiece. All materials are included and cost also includes fizz and nibbles.

This beautifully written article describes the pain, thoughts and confusion that may follow after the death of a loved one 💜 "Stumble, somehow through the raw first days. Shower. Press small pieces of bread to your lips. Sip water. Realise the desperate animal sounds you hear are coming from your own body. Wonder how it is that your lungs keep filling with air, over and over again. Be amazed at how the rest of the world keeps hurtling forward: humans rush to work, traffic lights roll from red to green to yellow, the earth continues to circle the hot shriek of the sun, ceaselessly, irreverently."

Our volunteers will be at the #Acle #Health & #Wellness Fair tomorrow. Come along and learn more about our #bereavement support services we offer & meet other organisations that are there to help you. It's at the Memorial Hall between 10am - 3pm. Everyone is welcome. #Wellbeing Acle Medical Partnership
