Support Hope Bereavement Care
Hope 100 regular Giving Campaign
For almost 40 years, Hope Bereavement Care has been there for the Geelong community.
We support people grieving the shocking and devastating loss of a precious baby during pregnancy or birth, grieving the death of a loved child and those bereaved by tragic suicide.
After decades of providing free support and caring, Hope Bereavement Care now needs our community’s support to continue our vital work.
With more and more people needing our help, for the first time in our history, we have a long wait list for our essential services.
Why support Hope?
A sudden and unexpected death is devastating and shocking. It can lead to feelings of disbelief, guilt, loneliness, fear, anxiety and helplessness, as well as physical symptoms including nausea, sleeplessness and exhaustion. These experiences can increase the risk of relationship breakdowns, financial strain and ongoing mental health concerns.
There are times that those who are bereaved need more support than that of family and friends. Those bereaved by suicide sometimes find it hard to reach out for help, and when families lose a baby during pregnancy or at birth, it can be hard for those who love and support them to know how to assist.
