Description
Providing support for your child when a relative is dying is vital, but can feel challenging. Sensitive and appropriate responses are essential at this difficult time. This guide aims to help support parents in their communications with their children when a relative has a life-limiting illness.
Often, our instinct is to protect children from the things we know will upset them. However, research tells us that children manage better when they are well informed about what is happening within their family. This helps them to be better prepared for what is to come. We also know that parents and relatives are the best people to support their children, although this can feel a daunting task for families.
This guide will provide you with advice on how to communicate with your children when a loved one is dying. It is designed to help you answer some of the questions that parents frequently ask us about communicating with children. The guide will also help you understand what your child might need at this difficult time.
