Bereavement by suicide is very different from any other bereavement and can give rise to all the emotions following any loss. There can often be many unanswered and unanswerable questions. The SOBS group meets on the last Wednesday of every month at Johnstone Day Care Centre, 21 Walkinshaw St, Johnstone, PA5 8AF, from 7pm8:30pm. If you have been bereaved by suicide and you think it might help to discuss what you are feeling and meet people in a similar situation, you are invited to come along. If you need help or assistance use our 'Useful Links' section or contact: 0141 849 2200.

Once more we are appealing for some volunteers to join our rota for wheel chair assistance to enable patients at the RAH to attend the 4pm Saturday Vigil Mass. You will assist a person from the ward to the hospital chapel, stay with them for Mass, and then take them back to the ward. Volunteers need to have or need to obtain a PVG as standard diocesan practice. Can you please contact Monsignor John Tormey for further details on 01505 320900 or email him at staidan@rcdop.org.uk. You will be asked to join our rota of helpers, probably helping once every three or four weeks. You are free to change your day with another helper if you can’t do the day when it’s your turn. We have had some helpers leave the rota recently and we really do need some fresh recruits. Please consider giving some of your time to help those who are ill and who will benefit from your kindness.
