Ipswich s St Elizabeth Hospice has launched a new online bereavement service in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
The free LivingGrief service has been launched thanks to a grant from Hospice UK, and will offer six stand-alone sessions to those in the east of the county who are bereaved – even if they have no previous contact with the hospice.
Sessions will be held via video conferencing service Zoom, while the hospice is also extending services to help community groups and care homes through any bereavement.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge left London for Norfolk ahead of Christmas last month.
HOLA! USA’s sister brand HELLO! previously noted that the royals “have no reason to return to the capital [London], while they are also unable to as the law advises against essential travel.” According to the UK Government’s restrictions, individuals “must not leave or be outside of” their home unless they “have a ‘reasonable excuse,” which includes work, volunteering, exercise, medical reasons, etc.
Kensington Palace shared a video on Friday of Prince William and Kate Middleton marking their first joint engagement of 2021 speaking with frontline workers about Hospice UK’s Just ‘B’ service. According to People magazine, the Duke and Duchess conducted the video call from Anmer Hall.
