Supporting Children through the loss of a sibling (Resource Pack)

When a new baby is expected in a family, most young children will be looking forward to the birth as much as everyone else. Lots of excitement, conversations, planning and preparation. But when the devastating news means that the baby or babies have very sadly died, finding the words and ways to support children can feel worrying.

Having to explain the loss of an expected baby brother or sister is an incredibly hard thing to do and we are here to support you.  

We understand that explaining miscarriage, stillbirth or neonatal death to children can feel like a minefield of questions.

Worries and concerns of getting it right, what not to say or how to say it & how to support children and families in the best possible way.

Have you supported a child through the days, weeks and months after their baby sibling(s) has died? We truly hope…
