The loss of anyone can be extremely difficult and this in turn can have a huge impact on families. As a school we recognise that when you lose someone you knew, time is needed to grieve, to be sad, to come to terms with life without that person and how this can affect every aspect of your life. Whether you've lost a family member, a friend, or a pet, you may feel a whole range of emotions and these may be different from day to day. Children. Like adults, need time, space and support to work through their grief and to manage their feelings. The phase 'it's ok not to be ok' is true for all grief stages.

Grief is an emotional response to loss. It is a process rather than an event, and people will respond in different ways and over different durations of time.

On this page we have provided a few links to useful websites. We hope they may help to provide support for parents and carers when they need to talk about grief and may help your child, and family, come to terms with a loss.
