Bereavement

Paperweight has accumulated a wealth of experience in helping clients cope with the practical and financial consequences of a sudden change in their circumstances. 

We have found that the likelihood that you or your partner or your dependants will face a death of a loved one, is for a multitude of reasons – personal, psychological, cultural, religious, superstitious – frequently left unattended and unprepared for. This also applies to dealing with a pre-bereavement period, such as where a loved one has a long illness.

By setting out some simple guidelines in our booklet ‘It’s Time to Have the Conversation’, our trained and sensitive case workers will work through the recommendations with you and tailor them to you specific circumstances.

We do hope that the trauma and grief of the consequences of death, and subsequent, sometimes overwhelming obligations and decisions, will be much lessened.
