How your support makes a difference

Nicole's story

Nicole shares how she lost her partner Martin to suicide and how support from Norfolk and Waveney Mind’s suicide bereavement service helped her feel less alone and begin to find hope again. She explains that connecting with others who understood her grief made a real difference in her healing journey. 

Your support for Norfolk and Waveney Mind, through joining our events and donating to us, allows our services to keep supporting people like Nicole. Because with the right support and resources, anyone can begin to rebuild. Anyone can find strength again.

And no one should have to do it alone.
"If I had to describe Norfolk and Waveney Mind's suicide bereavement service to anyone, I would just say that it is one of the most beneficial things that I have ever come across in my whole entire life. That was the first time since losing Martin that I felt heard and that I felt like there was actual tangible support available."
