Designed for extended family and friends, this information session will be led by our qualified counsellors.
Overview
The death of a child affects far more than parents alone. Friends and relatives often feel deep grief, but also uncertainty about what to say or how best to help, often ending up saying nothing at all, and leaving families even more isolated. This webinar offers a compassionate space for extended family members and friends to learn how to support loved ones through such a profound loss.
About the Session
Shooting Star Children’s Hospices is pleased to offer this new online session for those outside the immediate family. It is designed for friends, aunts, uncles, siblings-in-law, cousins, and other important people in a bereaved family’s life.
Led by our qualified Counsellors, the webinar will explore:
- Ways to support loved ones following the death of a child
- Approaches that may bring comfort during grief
- How to balance supporting others with looking after your own emotional wellbeing
Participants will also have the opportunity to ask questions in a safe and supportive environment, alongside others who understand the unique experience of supporting a grieving family.
