Our vision is that people bereaved suddenly get help at a time of darkness to move to a brighter day.
We help when someone has died suddenly, or too soon in their life, because of
- a sudden medical reason (including COVID-19), or terminal illness
- injuries, caused by something that happened
- suicide
We help people most in the early days and weeks, but people can call any time.
At Sudden, named case workers help to:
- Support with a warm, listening ear
- Give advice on bereavement issues
- Get help needed, including emotional, practical, psychological, or legal
We also help communities and professionals to help suddenly bereaved people, better.

People bereaved by sudden death suffer terribly – whether it’s through COVID-19 or another communicable disease or undiagnosed medical reason, suicide, a road crash, natural disaster, war or terrorism, or an accident such as drowning or in the workplace. They are often left isolated, bewildered and traumatised and need specialist support to help them cope and move forwards with their lives. The good news is that with early, professional support people bereaved suddenly stand a much better chance of not developing debilitating conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder.
Sudden is a charitable initiative for suddenly bereaved people and the people caring for them.
The vision of Sudden is a world where everyone suddenly bereaved gets the help they need at a time of darkness to move forwards to a brighter day. Our mission is to ease the suffering of people bereaved by any kind of sudden death.
