Bereavement support for children and young people

Talking to children and young people about death can be difficult. Hospices may give support to you and the children in your family.

The following websites have information for young people who have lost a loved one:

  • Cruse Bereavement Care provides information and support to children and has advice on how to help a child or young person who is grieving
  • Winston’s Wish supports children who have lost a loved one. They also have some information for young people who have a family member with a life-limiting illness
  • Grief encounter provides support for bereaved children and young people
  • Child Bereavement UK provides support for families and young people
