“Losing my son left me in a dark place. @CruseSupport listened, reassured me, and helped me find friends and coping techniques. I’ve learnt it’s ok to talk about how I feel. Thank you for helping me find myself again.” #TTplus #bereavement #support @BlackCountryNHS

“Being able to speak openly to her has really helped me and I’ve learnt that it’s ok to talk how I am feeling. I cannot thank Cruse enough for all your help with the loss of my son and helping me find me again.”

“I spoke to a lovely lady at Cruse and she explained everything to me and what would happen next. This gave me a lot of reassurance.”
