My close friend at university tragically lost her childhood best friend during the summer vacation and is having trouble coming to terms with it. I''m trying to be supportive and helpful to her but I worry that she needs more than a listening ear, hugs and tea. She''s reluctant to go to a counselor as she feels her problem isn''t big enough. While I can understand her pain to some extent I''ve never suffered a sudden bereavement. Could anyone give me advice as to useful ways of coping with bereavement which I could suggest to her? All suggestions welcome. Thanks

I am very lucky to have found your website. Recently I wrote about a problem which I face very often.... There were 10 responses from 10 mentors. They have really explained to me and made me understand that I do not have any problem. Your services are wonderful and I am very much thankful to all of you.
I have been mentoring on HM for 18 months. I really enjoy it & hopefully I am helping other people. Recently I posted my my first 'request for a mentor'. I have been completely bowled over by the response. So many people taking their time & making the effort to offer constructive advice in a friendly polite manner. For me it completely validates the intent behind HM. It reminds me how many good, helpful people there are out there. Thanks for providing such a great service.
