Grieving is not simply a personal issue. We need a community of others who are there for us at such times. It is a community affair and a family affair.' -Phyllis Silverman, a veteran social worker who journeyed with the bereaved.

'Grief Matters' is a movement by Montfort Care to rally the community to recognise grief and offer bereavement support. We aim to promote bereaved-friendly practices in the community, workplaces and schools, in addition to offer personalised care to the bereaved. Our team of counsellors and social workers would reach out to any bereaved person, family or community who would benefit from additional support to navigate the experience of losing a significant person.

During these trying periods, Grief Matters continues to support the recently bereaved who were affected by the various measures to contain covid-19. In the absence of community grief rituals, the professionals need to step up their support for the bereaved. Help us with a gift to light up the journey for those who are grieving.
