At some point we will have to deal with the inevitable but heartbreaking consequences of bereavement with our children. Whether sudden or expected, few life events have a greater impact on families than the death of a loved one.
It could be losing a beloved family pet, a grandparent or even sadly a parent. Most of us probably feel ill equipped to have conversations with our children about death.
