Childrens resource centre

When a child finds out that someone important in their life has died it can make them feel very anxious and afraid. It is made harder if they are not told clearly exactly what has happened. Breaking bad news is difficult for adults and children's feelings will be different depending on the age they are.

When a child hears dreadful news, they can have lots of different feelings. Sometimes they are very upset, other times they just feel numb.Some of the most usual feelings are: not believing it's true, being angry, blaming other people or themselves, being really sad, and feeling guilty. We provide a full children's resource centre, which offers help, advice and ideas to help children of any age come to terms with their loss.
