About this service
The group supports Former Long Term Carers following the loss of the person being cared for, either through death or because the person has had to go into long-term care.
This is a tremendously difficult time to go from 24 hours a day, 7 days a week caring to nothing. This alongside the pain of bereavement. Over time Carers have often become isolated and because of their caring role role experienced a loss of friendship and social activities.
The group gives former Carers better chances in their lives. Encouraging the ideals of a self-help group to enjoy the benefit of social contact the may find difficult to arrange.
It is hoped self-confidence grows and builds a tangible air of achievement in breaking down barriers. It must ne notes this is not a bereavement group but a way of MOVING ON TOGEHER to build a new life.
