Additional advice on Children and Bereavement

8 September 2003

The second edition of Children and Bereavement provides additional advice on helping children come to terms with tragic events such as the September 11th and the Soham murders, as well as the loss of a loved one. It is a sensitive guide for parents, teachers, clergy and others who may be involved in helping a child or teenager through death and loss, providing clear, accessible information and stories of real situations.

Children and Bereavement is written by Wendy Duffy, a bereavement counsellor at the Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice in Surrey and a pastoral assistant in the parish of St Thomas-on-the-Bourne.

The Revd Tim Alban-Jones MBE, vicar of Soham and Wicken, called Children and Bereavement 'an outstanding combination of practical advice and thoughtful reflection on all areas of this important subject'.
