Bereavement “first aiders” should be trained by employers to help people in the workplace who are struggling with grief, a charity has said.
Research by Sue Ryder, which provides palliative, neurological and bereavement assistance, suggests the majority of UK adults are not getting any formal support after the loss of a loved one.
The charity is calling for an “open, honest national conversation” about grief and has urged the Government to look into the availability of bereavement services.
