Bereavement and loss of a loved one (such as a family member, friend or pet) can be really sad. People may also feel a sense of loss when an important relationship ends (such as relationship break up or friendship break down).
If your child has experienced a bereavement or loss it is important to remember that there is no right or wrong way to feel think or behave; everyone processes grief differently. Some days children may feel more able to cope than other days. It is important to remind them to be kind to themselves.
If you or your child has suffered a loss or bereavement and are struggling to cope or need some advice, Simon Says is a young person bereavement support charity that provides support and advice to young people and their families across Hampshire. Mosaic offer a similar service for children and young people living in Dorset.
