Listening to Loss Survey

Thank you for taking part in this survey.

We want to find out about people's experiences with bereavement and loss. We are aware that everyone grieves differently and each community draws on different people, places and resources to help them. We'd like to hear about your experiences, about what you draw upon and what you wish was there but isn't. Are there specific needs to you that you think are overlooked?

We are aware some of these questions might be difficult and involve difficult emotions. If you are in any doubt, please feel free to not complete the survey. If after completing this you'd appreciate a chat or some support, contact us at info@spacetobreatheuk.com and we'd be happy to arrange a free support appointment for you.

The project is part of work we are doing with Compassionate Sheffield and DiverseCity Development Trust.

We appreciate you taking the time to complete this survey which should only take a few minutes.
