Grief changes everything. At Child Bereavement UK we support grieving children and young people, and parents bereaved of a baby or child, to find hope and rebuild their lives. Support is available if you're 25 or under, or if your baby or child has died or is expected to die before their 26th birthday.

Grief support without the wait.

Get instant access to expert bereavement support via phone, live chat, email or text/WhatsApp from 8am to 8pm, Monday to Friday (except bank holidays). No appointment needed or long wait times.

You don’t have to face your grief alone

Grief doesn’t follow rules, timelines or expectations, and there is no right or wrong way to grieve. We’re here to help you find your own way forward, in your own time.
