Loss, Change and Bereavement: Supporting Children and Young People<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It is important to talk to children and young people as honestly as possible about loss, change or bereavement, at a level they understand to reduce their anxiety and worry, and to help them feel safe, heard and connected to the adults they trust.<\/p>\n

It is common to feel stuck or worried about what to say and how to say it when it comes to talking about illness and bereavement with children. It is important we talk openly and truthfully, being mindful of a child\u2019s developmental stage.<\/p>\n

There is a helpful information sheet on Child Bereavement UK website explaining children\u2019s understanding of loss at different ages and offering scripts and guidance on what we can say to help them.\u00a0\u00a0Please click here to view website<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
