Nyx Funerals values the innately individual grieving process that occurs after loss and bereavement, that is not something that you pass through in stages or that you ‘get over’ in time. Grief is something that you integrate into your life and carry on a relationship with the deceased through what’s known as ongoing bonds. If at some point in the grieving journey you feel like you are needing extra support a referral to grief specific mental health agency can be of great assistance.
