Description

This short film with Dr Sian Williams offers gentle, practical guidance to help parents and carers support a child after a bereavement - especially when they are grieving too. Through eight clear, age‑appropriate tips, the film explains how to talk honestly about death, make space for every emotion, create meaningful goodbyes, and keep memories alive in healthy, comforting ways. It also shows how routines bring stability, why it helps for children to see adults' express grief, what warning signs to look out for, and how to work with teachers when returning to school.
