Sudden – supporting people after sudden death
People bereaved by sudden death suffer terribly – whether it’s through a road crash, suicide, disaster, war, accident, or undiagnosed medical reasons. They are often left isolated, bewildered and traumatised and need specialist support to help them cope and move forwards with their lives.
Sudden is a charitable initiative sharing best practice, research and resources among professionals across the world working with people who are suddenly bereaved. Through this, we aim to help ease the suffering of people bereaved by any kind of sudden death.
This charity along with Brake have produced a book to help support children dealing with sudden death.
WAY Widowed And Young is a self-help organisation for people aged 50 and under who have been widowed.
