Specialist Support for Loss After Addiction
​
Losing a loved one is always difficult, but when the loss is connected to addiction, the grief can feel especially complex. At Delta Grief Support, we understand with first hand experience that this kind of bereavement often carries unique challenges, including feelings of guilt, anger, shame, or unanswered questions. These emotions, while natural, can feel overwhelming and isolating.
​
The stigma surrounding addiction can make it harder to talk openly about your loss. You may feel misunderstood, judged, or unsupported, even by those closest to you. This can add to your pain and make the grieving process even more difficult.
​
We are here to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can share your story, process your emotions, and begin to find healing. Our specialist support recognises the additional layers of grief that often accompany loss due to addiction, including:
​
-
Ambiguous Grief: The complicated emotions tied to loving someone struggling with addiction.
-
Guilt or Regret: Reflecting on what you could have done differently or feeling responsible.
-
Anger or Resentment: Toward your loved one, others, or the circumstances of their addiction.
-
Stigma and Silence: The challenge of navigating societal perceptions and finding understanding.
At Delta Grief Support, we believe that no one should grieve alone or in silence. We offer tailored support to help you navigate this unique type of loss, working with you to:
​
-
Understand and normalise the complex emotions you may be feeling.
-
Reframe guilt, blame, or self-doubt in a way that allows for self-compassion.
-
Honour the memory of your loved one while finding a path forward.
​
Addiction does not define your loved one or your relationship with them. Through our sessions, we aim to help you explore the bonds you shared and how to carry them with you as part of your healing journey.

You don’t have to face this alone. Our specialist bereavement support is here to guide you through, at a pace that feels right for you. Reach out today to take the first step toward understanding, healing, and hope.
