Grief Support

“The programme is well-planned and at times can be very insightful and thought-provoking.”

— Anna Yee, Past Participant

We Provide –

• Individual Counselling*
  We offer professional individual counselling to the bereaved, relieving their grief and helping them adapt to life without their loved one. Clinical studies have shown that attending a counselling support programme can reduce anxiety, depression and feelings of isolation.
• Group Counselling / Peer Support*
  The Care & Connect Group (CCG) sessions, facilitated by our counsellors or appointed persons, bring widows together in a safe space where they can share their fears, emotions and hopes associated with grieving. By sharing their struggles and challenges, widows can connect, support and learn from one another.
• Befriending
  Let someone walk alongside you during your time of loss. Our befrienders are volunteers who have been widowed for a period of time and have adapted well to their new phase of life. They provide a listening ear and emotional support on a one-to-one basis.
• Talks, Workshops & Activities
  Designed to help widows make new connections, gain knowledge and develop new skills to navigate this important transition in life.
  Topics include:
  • Managing Finances
  • Legacy Planning
  • Self-Care
  • Rebuilding Confidence

* All discussions are kept confidential.

Children’s Programme
This programme caters to children and youth aged 21 years and below. Its aim is to help children process their grief while supporting parents and children through the grieving journey as a family, strengthening family bonds along the way.

This programme includes:

• • 1-to-1 Counselling Support
    Professional counselling sessions conducted either at our premises or in the comfort of your home.
  • Therapeutic Group Support
    Helping children make new friends, understand grief and emotional regulation through structured activities such as storytelling, letter writing and games.
  • Skills-Building Activities & Workshops
    Activities designed to equip children and youth with practical skills while building confidence. Topics include interview preparation, speech & drama, and puppetry.
  • Family Therapy
    Family therapy sessions are offered to strengthen relationships and address parent-child relationship challenges.

• Education Bursaries & Awards
  We offer bursaries and awards to support the education of eligible children, youth and young adults, based on eligibility, helping them achieve their academic aspirations.
• Financial Assistance
  Wicare provides financial assistance on a case-by-case basis to help families facing urgent and pressing financial needs.
• Resource for Employment
  We provide information on employment opportunities through our network of partners and community contacts, where available.

At Wicare, we believe that no one should have to walk through loss alone. That’s why our community events bring widows and families together into a circle of care and support. These activities are more than opportunities to stay engaged—they help build lasting friendships and provide the comfort of a community that truly understands the journey of grief.

Through shared experiences and genuine understanding, we gently encourage and uplift one another, helping our hearts heal as we embrace new beginnings together.

Our workshops and community events are highly subsidised, making them affordable and accessible for our members.
