Kindness Festival 2025 – Walking Beside Grief: How to support the bereaved

Grief can feel overwhelming—not just for those experiencing it, but also for those who want to offer support. Many people worry about saying the wrong thing or feel unsure about how to help.

This interactive workshop is designed for anyone who wants to feel more confident in supporting a grieving friend, family member, colleague, or client.

Led by: Melina Robinson (Counsellor, Frome Birth Talk)

What to expect:

• Practical ways to talk to and support someone who is grieving

• Compassionate insights and useful tools

• A deeper understanding of how to offer meaningful support

As part of the Frome Kindness Festival, this workshop highlights how small acts of kindness—listening without judgment, showing up, and offering practical support—can make a profound difference.

All are welcome, whether you have personal experience of grief or simply want to learn how to support others.
