Lost for words - e-book for bereaved children - Family support services

What we do

#LostForWords is a new e-book created by Ben Brooks-Dutton with the Life Matters task force – a coalition of charities calling for better support for bereaved families.

The free to download e-book is made up of advice and insights from children bereaved from infancy to teenage years, including some young people supported by Child Bereavement UK. The e-book includes words and emojis to express how they feel and to help others understand what bereavement is like for the younger generation and how we can help.
