Whether you are a counsellor, a chaplain, a healthcare professional, or any other professional who interacts with bereaved parents, a common concern among these positions is feeling like you don’t know what to say or how to help bereaved parents. 

When a child dies it is an exceptionally sad time for the bereaved family and for those who care about them. We encourage caring professionals to engage with parents whose child has died, feeling empowered to speak openly about grief and child loss.
