Grief is complex, it’s complicated and it’s messy. Whilst everyone grieves differently there are some common threads and themes it can be helpful to know. Every month, our bereavement support workers are running a live talk and Q&A on how grief can impact different aspects of your life growing up. We also have a recorded talk called ‘Growing with grief: Guide to an undiscussed topic’ covering the impact of grief, common feelings and ways to cope.
Has someone important to you got an incurable illness? Join us for a one-hour online workshop to explore how life changes when someone you know is going to die. The session will include a creative activity and opportunities to share your experiences and find ways to cope. When someone has an incurable illness, it often brings change as well as trying to continue to have some sense of normality. You are not alone, join us to talk about change and how you can begin to grieve before someone dies. For young people aged 13-25.
Next workshop: Tuesday 15 September, 4pm
Book hereGrief doesn't happen in a vacuum. You are still having to experience and continue with your life whilst grieving and that's completely unique to you. We recognise that grief can be 'turned up' during certain moments and milestones so we're hosting a free live talk and Q&A once a month on various topics about grief. It's your chance to hear directly from a bereavement support worker, ask questions and hear what other young people would like to know about grief.
Whilst these sessions are confidential, which means that we will not share anything you tell us with anyone else, there are limitations. If you share something with us that makes us concerned about the safety of you, or someone else, we may have to pass this onto organisations outside of Child Bereavement UK. We will always try to talk to you about this first, if this is the case. If you need crisis support, please reach out to your local emergency services (in the UK, this is 999).
