Men, Women and Grief Home Care Organisation (and families)
Men, Women and Grief help anyone who is depressed or in need of support. Our vision is to have a 24hr drop-in-center for families so they feel they have some where safe to go.
Our dream would be to have a safe haven for everyone. In the future we would like to go through the schools introducing the subject of grief, so it is addressed early in life, as grief is a taboo subject. We would like to see further drop-in-centers throughout New Zealand . We have a team of volunteers who are adequate in training and mentoring, which we match up with clients who are grieving or in a crisis. Our organization is a non-profitable organization and we are a free service to all.
PLEASE READ THIS STORY CAREFULLY... It is relevant to every person on the planet!!! THE STORY IS CALLED GRIEF - "HUMAN GRIEF"!!!
We do not talk about grief, we rather wish it would go away, we are powerless against it, when it happens it is as destructive as the hugest tsunami, it devastates, annihilates and horrifies in such a catastrophic way that lives are NEVER the same again. Families are torn apart and relatives and friends do not know what to do or say. We want to expand our programme to assist men, women and children. We rather wish it would go away, but it doesn't!!
Our organization was originally called Women and Grief and was founded in January 2001 by a group of women, who has filled a gap in the bereavement cycle. The service has a group of volunteers who have all experienced bereavement and having gone through this very painful process and are committed to helping and supporting others in the same position.
Friends and family do all they can at the time of the bereavement however unless they have experienced bereavement it is difficult for them to fully understand what you are going through. Sooner or later everyone returns to his or her day-to-day lives and that is when the bereaved person can feel alone and isolated. The volunteer will contact you by being available to talk on the phone and offer compassionate and understanding support as you travel your own journey through grief.
