'Life After Loss' is a new informal support group where you can speak about your loss and feelings, or just chat to others knowing they have experienced grief too.

Our aim is for those grieving, who may feel isolated and alone in their grief, to make new connections and friendships.

Group sessions are held fortnightly at Market House in Lerwick, 11.30-12.30pm.

No need to book, just drop in! Please use the blue side door along Harbour Street.

Upcoming dates are:

Monday 27th January 2025

Monday 10th February; 24th Feburary

Monday 10th March; 24th March

Monday 7th April

  • Open to anyone bereaved, to come together in a kind, supportive and welcoming group where it is safe to talk about your grief.
  • Drop in sessions, no need to book.
  • Come along and have a cuppa and cake. Socialise, meet others and make new friendships.
  • Facilitated by qualified bereavement support workers.
  • Free to attend.

Please respect others privacy in the group, by keeping shared conversations strictly confidential. We want everyone to feel relaxed and able to talk freely.

PLEASE NOTE: This group is not for group therapy OR one to one counselling support. If you require one to one bereavement support, please contact SBSS to self refer to the service - referral forms available here.
