Sharing an activity together with a child or young person can be a supportive way of talking about bereavement and connecting as a family. Stories and activities can help a child or young person understand and come to terms with a situation and find ways which help them to cope and feel better over time. Reading, drawing or making things together as a family can be a helpful way to connect and support each other.<\/p>\n
