Time to talk -bereavement befriending To provide telephone support to our carers aged 25 over who may be caring for a loved one at end of life, recently bereaved or coming to terms with a diagnosis of a loved one with memory loss. For 1 hour per week the volunteer will enable the carer to build their emotional resilience by using active listening skills which validate the carers thoughts and emotions and to be a sounding board when needed; whilst encouraging them to develop and maintain healthy coping strategies which will aid them to adapt to their new life after a diagnosis or the death of a loved one.
