Children and Bereavement

When a parent dies, children often experience grief very differently from adults. Some may become quiet and withdrawn, while others show their feelings through behaviour or questions that are difficult to answer.

This section offers guidance for families supporting children after the death of a parent or loved one. You will find practical advice on understanding children’s grief, helping them feel safe, and supporting them through the difficult changes that follow a loss.
