Resources

Things that might help

A curated list of support services, reading, and other resources for people navigating grief. They are recommended by our members and we regularly update this list with new materials.

If you need help right now

DPS is a peer support group, not a crisis service. If you're struggling and need to talk to someone urgently, please reach out to one of these services.

Grief support services

These organisations specialise in bereavement and loss and are a good place to find 1-1 support and therapy.

Reading on grief

Books that we have found actually helpful.

After her father died when she was 15, Cariad spent a long time finding her identity beyond being the girl whose dad died.

Interview and research about how losing one's mother in young adulthood impacts identity and relationships over decades. The facebook group has also been helpful for our members.

A memoir about the aftermath of Helen's father's death and how she found meaning through training a hawk. Now also an excellent film though definitely a tear-jerker.

Practical support

Sometimes grief intersects with practical matters that nobody prepares you for. These resources can help.
