Free group helps with bereavement

The Northern Sydney Central Coast Area Health Service is offering a free bereavement group for Peninsula residents every Wednesday in Woy Woy.

The Creating Connections bereavement group hold meetings every Wednesday at Grevillea Cottage, Woy Woy from 10.30am to 12.30pm.

"Grief affects people in different ways," said Central Coast Health spokesperson Ms Jill Warwicker.

"There is no wrong or right way to grieve but there is support available for people who are experiencing the loss of someone significant to them through death.

"The group is led by professional bereavement counsellors and trained bereavement volunteer support workers.

The Creating Connections group is free and open to all ages for those who have suffered a loss through death."
