Most
people experience grief when they lose something or someone important to them.
Therefore,
National Grief Awareness Week is used as a tool for raising awareness of all
aspects of grief and loss on a national scale. Campaigns such as this have been
created in the hope of offering access to a choice of tailored bereavement
support to all those grieving in the UK and to those working with the bereaved;
as well as to ensure immediate access to support for all types of bereavement
in local communities across the country.
