Bereavement Care - A Guide for Adults Supporting Children

Support guide

Traumatic grief Following a sudden or traumatic death, the process of grief may be more complex. It can affect a young person’s self-esteem, especially if they feel responsible for the death. Protecting the child from all the facts may be very unhelpful under these circumstances resulting in rumours that may exacerbate the child’s worries. Professional help may be useful.
