This is our hope for you
That the turmoil within you is still and you find calm,
That the anxiety within you is quietened and that you find peace,
That the anguish within you be healed and you find joy,
That the gentle listening and understanding of those around you may comfort you in your hour of need,
And that the pain deep within your broken heart may ease,
That your trust in life one day be restored, that you find strength to help you through your darkest days,
And that your hope for the future is returned, to remember that you are not alone,
Those you have loved and lost walk beside you every foot of the way
After this type of bereavement you can feel lonely, frightened and isolated and truly feeling as if no one understands your pain and grief but everyone within SAMM knows how that trauma and pain can affect you. All our specially trained volunteers have been bereaved in this way. Talking confidentially to someone who does understand can be so helpful and make you realise that you are not alone with your pain and distress.
SAMM provides training for people who come into contact with those bereaved through homicide. We currently offer this training to Police Officers, Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) Barristers, Probation Officers, Schools and many other organisations.
