When a family member has cancer it is hard for everyone to understand. It can be particularly difficult when a parent or carer faces the challenge of trying to explain to their child what cancer means and how it may affect their family.

Supporting a child when someone is seriously ill

This specialist book from Winston’s Wish offers practical advice for families and professionals supporting bereaved teenagers. It aims to help you understand what is normal adolescent development, and to recognise the additional problems teenagers may face if someone important dies during these years.

In the past, the needs of bereaved children with SEND have not always been considered. We All Grieve looks at how children with SEND are affected by a bereavement, how those around them can support them and help to develop the child's understanding of death and loss.

This specialist book offers practical guidance and resources for any adult who is supporting a child after someone has died. It covers a range of topics, including talking to children (especially primary school age children) about death and the feelings, thoughts and behaviours grieving children may have.
