FUNERAL MINISTRY IN THE PARISH OF FAWKHAM AND HARTLEY

Continuing Care after the Funeral

You may find yourself so busy with practical details and arrangements between the death and the funeral that you do not experience the full sense of your loss until later.

Grieving is a natural and important part of coming to terms with and healing this loss and it may continue for several months. As a Church Family we will try to help. We will give you a call six weeks after the funeral to see how you are getting on. This is often a difficult time when the cards and messages of sympathy have stopped coming, and you are just beginning to adjust to life without your loved one.

We will also send you a card on the anniversary of the death of your loved one.

And we will invite you to attend a Service to Commemorate Departed Loved Ones which is held in Springtime, in the afternoon of the second Sunday after Easter.

There is a weekly informal fellowship group known as the “Pop-in Parlour” which meets every Thursday morning from 10 a.m. to 12 noon in All Saints Church Centre when you can enjoy the company of friends over a cup of coffee or tea.

In addition, we warmly invite you to join with us Sunday by Sunday as we worship God and celebrate our faith. True comfort is to be found in the promises of Jesus Christ, in the hope of the Resurrection and in the belief that your loved one is safe in the hands of God.
