Bereavement & Loss Support: Support for Children and Young People

If someone important to a child has died or they're seriously ill, you can get support to help them cope. 

If you're a parent or carer

If your child has been bereaved you may need support with:

• talking about death
• how grief might affect your child
• helping your child say goodbye
• questions children might have when someone dies

You'll find information and advice on supporting a bereaved child at www.mygov.scot/child-bereavement/
