"I will never forget your kindness"

About: St Johns Hospice / St John’s counselling

(as a service user),

After my husband died I was completely broken. I couldn’t see any way forward and the sort of carrying on without him was so hard the hospice who would have looked after my husband was at home. Palliative Care was wonderful and arranged Counselling for me.

I had two counsellors initially who left service and then after a little wait , I was given a different lady who has been absolutely wonderful I don’t know where I would be without her. She has helped me move forward guided me and helped me so much to know that I can cope. I can do this and I will miss her terribly. I will miss the contact, the time to just be me and talk. She will never know for sure exactly how much she has helped me and how much she has helped me move forward thinking back to this time last year I never thought I would be as far on as I am now

My life will never be the same without my wonderful husband alongside me but Sharon has helped me realise I can move forward. It’s going to take a long time I know but with her support I know I can move forward. She’s been brilliant and I only hope the service can keep going for a long long time to give all the support and care that I’ve had without this Counselling. I’m sure I wouldn’t be where I am now. So thank you all for supporting me guiding me and caring about me during this time. I will never forget your kindness.
