Children affected by bereavement - How can I help them

There are children that are affected by this bereavement. How can I help them?

It is our experience that children often find it helpful to talk about the death and how they are feeling. They also want to feel valued and part of the process, so including them in planning the arrangements (if they want to be) can be very helpful. If you would like further advice, please contact the Child Bereavement Team on 0115 9249924 ex 66276.
