Jenny Andrews has helped many families following bereavement:“I help people as they go through the grieving process and experience feelings of loss and bewilderment. Every person grieves differently and my role is to find out what they need and assist them through the grieving process.”
Local people caring for local people

Grief is our natural response to loss in our lives. There is no right or wrong way to grieve and people have different ways of grieving.
When someone dies, family and friends can find it difficult to cope with the tremendous grief they experience and can be unprepared for important decisions and arrangements that need to be made.
After the funeral is over, Geoffrey T Sowman Funeral Directors offers, free of charge, support and a sympathetic ear if people feel they need someone to talk to, someone to understand what they are going through. Whether it is just ‘being there’, or putting you in touch with other support networks, Geoffrey T Sowman Funeral Directors are here to help you.
We also offer a free book, Now What? A guide for people living with the death of someone close, by highly regarded grief counsellor and writer Lois Tonkin. A colourful poster, Remembering to Live is also available for children and teenagers.
These are just two of the many ways we at Sowman’s demonstrate our understanding of the needs of families and friends going through the stress of bereavement.
