At East Cheshire Hospice, we provide children and young people, who have a loved one diagnosed with a life-limiting illness or who has passed away within the last three years, with the time and space to explore their emotions. This support may come in the form of:
This can provide support and help to develop a child’s resilience as they experience the loss of a loved one.
Â
When a loved one passes away, it can be difficult to know how to act and express our emotions to family, friends, and teachers. Likewise, it can be challenging for those in these roles to understand how to respond to children’s behaviour during such times.
We are never too young or old to experience the death of someone important to us. Finding ways to cope is different for everyone. Children and young people can face different challenges to adults.
The Hospice Children and Young People’s Bereavement team offers support for families, teachers and healthcare professionals working with bereaved children and those supporting children who have experienced the loss of someone important to them.
