If a friend is bereaved, ask how you can help them. Practical help like organising a food delivery may be welcomed, but sometimes they may just need someone to listen. Visit our website for guidance on supporting a bereaved friend or family member: https://lnkd.in/e4U7V-w6
Child Bereavement UK
Non-profit Organization Management
We support families and educate professionals when a child of any age dies, and when a child or young person grieves.
About us
Child Bereavement UK helps children, parents and families to rebuild their lives when a child grieves or when a child dies. We support children and young people up to the age of 25 who are facing bereavement, and anyone affected by the death of a child of any age. We provide training to professionals in health and social care, education, and the voluntary and corporate sectors, equipping them to provide the best possible care to bereaved families. We provide ongoing professional support to bereaved children and families and also support the individuals and organisations that become involved with these families. We do this through our training, our national helpline, via our website, and face to face at an increasing number of locations across the UK. We continually strive to raise the profile of child bereavement as an issue, and to ensure that the interests and needs of bereaved children and families are reflected in policy and practice. We map and raise awareness of the support that is available across the UK and are a trusted authority for the media and others on issues relating to child bereavement. In the UK, when a baby or child dies, or a child is bereaved, many of those affected are unable to access good quality support which meets their individual needs. Child Bereavement UK believes all families should have the support they need to rebuild their lives when a child grieves or when a child dies. Our aim is to make sure they do.

It’s hard when someone you know has died. You might cry and be overwhelmed by difficult emotions. Our short animated film ‘What is grief?’ is for anyone of any age who is grieving. The film explains some of the different ways people grieve, the feelings and challenges you might experience, and some things that can help. Help us raise awareness by voting for the film in the Charity Film Awards. 👉https://lnkd.in/e7BnyaEX

When someone important to you dies you may be overwhelmed by feelings of grief and loss. Over time, as you do new things and have new experiences, your loss will remain as significant but other parts of your life will start to grow around it. When you think of the person who has died, you may still feel sad and sometimes be overwhelmed by grief again, but over the years, this will generally happen less frequently. For more on how we grieve, visit: https://lnkd.in/e4Nh6y2K
