About bereavement

The death of someone close to a child may lead to a whole range of emotions, including being sad, depressed, anxious and angry.

Most children will be able to grieve and over time come to terms with their loss, supported by family and friends.

However, others will find life in general hard to cope with, may become anxious about their own health or that of others, and can find it hard to move on. They may not realise themselves what is causing their worries and might find it hard to talk about.
