The Bereavement Journey

Grief can be a deeply challenging and isolating experience, whether you are dealing with a recent loss or processing a bereavement from years ago. At Swallownest Baptist Church, we are offering The Bereavement Journey course to help you navigate your journey of grief in a safe, warm, and supportive environment.


About the Course

The Bereavement Journey is a 7-week series designed for anyone grieving the loss of a loved one. Developed by At A Loss, the UK’s signposting charity for the bereaved, the course uses short films and guided group discussions to explore key topics such as:

  • Processing grief and understanding feelings of loss
  • Managing difficult emotions and coping with change
  • Finding hope and a way forward

The course is non-faith-based and open to anyone regardless of background or beliefs. The final (7th) week is entirely optional and offers space to explore faith perspectives on bereavement.
