Spiritual
Bereavement Services
My life of grief and loss, has also been my inspiration to help others heal.
Jane Collard - founder of SBS
Welcome to our Spiritual Bereavement Services, a compassionate counselling space dedicated to supporting you through all forms of grief and loss, including the loss of beloved pets. With a gentle and understanding approach, we are here to help you find hope and healing, whether you are mourning a person or a cherished animal companion.
We at SBS understand that everyone experiences grief and loss in their own unique way. Each session is tailored to your individual needs, ensuring that you feel supported and understood. Coping with grief and maintaining mental health during difficult times requires compassionate support and effective strategies. Our approach centres on active listening, ensuring that your emotions are fully acknowledged and validated.
Sharing your experience with someone who genuinely listens can alleviate the burden of isolation and foster healing. Our commitment is to stand alongside you, offering guidance and reassurance as you navigate your personal journey through grief.
Remember, healing is a gradual process, and feeling a wide range of emotions is both natural and necessary. By creating a trusting space, we help empower you to open up in confidence and work towards restoring your mental and emotional wellbeing.
Our services are uniquely designed to support you during the most challenging hours, offering sessions between 7pm and 3am—times when grief often feels most overwhelming. Night’s quiet and darkness often heighten anxious thoughts, making rest hard. In stillness, negative feelings grow, deepening loneliness, sadness, or fear. Recognising this can lead to gentle coping methods that bring peace at night.
Our pets are cherished members of the family, and parting with them can be an incredibly difficult and emotional experience. At Spiritual Bereavement Services, we understand the profound loss and pain that comes with saying goodbye to a beloved companion. From guiding you in recognising the right time to say farewell, to supporting you through the grieving process, we are here to provide compassionate care and understanding during this heartbreaking journey.
For many, the loss of a pet represents the loss of their only companion or the final connection to a loved one after the passing of a partner or family member. It is important to remember that grief manifests uniquely for everyone, and it is entirely natural to grieve for pets and animals. The death of a beloved animal can be profoundly life-changing, impacting the owner in deep and lasting ways. At Spiritual Bereavement Services, we understand this pain firsthand and offer compassionate support to help you navigate your journey towards healing and peace.
