My child has died. How do I talk about my grief?

2 My child has died. How do I talk about my grief? When your child has died, the pain of grief can feel almost unbearable. At this terrible time, you need love and kindness, but sometimes people around you do not behave how you might hope or expect. They may not know what to say or how to react. This can make your grief even harder to bear. You may also feel anxious about returning to work, meeting with friends, or going out. If this is your experience, please know that you are not alone. Many bereaved parents face difficulties coping with other people. We hope this leaflet will give you some useful ideas for managing this.
