Grief Aware

At Prodigal Connect we recognise that the emotions and needs surrounding bereavement are unique for everyone. We aim to provide the support you need, for as long as you need it. From planning and conducting a ceremony, to providing a listening ear or more focused Bereavement Coaching, we offer to be by your side to support you as you learn to live with grief.
