Connexions Tameside

When someone close to you dies, you'll experience all sorts of feelings: you may be very upset or worried; you may be angry or want to blame someone; you may feel guilty or confused; you may just feel numb. All of these feelings are normal. You'll need time to get over what you're feeling but there are people who can help.

Locally you can contact:

Samaritans are able to provide a counselling service too.
