Children's Grief Awareness Week 2022
Nov 25, 2022
Children’s Grief Awareness Week has just come to an end in the UK as I write this.
It was initiated by Grief Encounter and the Childhood Bereavement Network in 2015, as a way to recognise and raise awareness of the bereavement experiences of children and young people.
Aligned with International Children’s Grief Awareness Day, which is always the Thursday before Thanksgiving in the United States, Children’s Grief Awareness Week is a chance for the United Kingdom to be more mindful and aware of the impact bereavement can have on children and young people.
So today, in support of Grief Awareness Week, I wanted to reach out and share the resources we have created here at Brighter Futures for Kids, to help children who have lost someone they love.
I have covered the subject of childhood bereavement several times since I started my weekly videos. Here are the links in case you missed them:
Is It Right for Children to go to Funerals?
Helping Your Child Grieve for a Family Member They Never Knew

My Recommend Resources to Help Bereaved Children and Young People
How to Help A Child Or Young Person Who is Grieving
The Impact of Bereavement on Teenagers
The Impact of Bereavement on Young Children
How Bereavement Affects Children
Helping Your Child Cope With Worries About Death and Dying
I hope you find these videos helpful.
Warmest wishes
