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

3 How do I cope when someone says nothing? What do I say when I’m asked what happened to my child? How do I cope when people expect me to have ‘moved on’ or ‘got over’ my child’s death? …or even turns away from me?! This leaflet is published by The Compassionate Friends (TCF). We are a national charity. We are all bereaved parents or siblings, supporting other parents who are also grieving the death of their child or children. We run support groups in person and online, organise meetings, and have a free helpline. You can find our contact information on the back page.
