We support bereaved children and families to help rebuild their lives

Story

I feel as though families having to deal with the tragic loss of their child sometimes do not always get the help/support they need.
I couldn't imagine to begin the pain it brings to someone's life.

Losing a loved one isn't easy for anyone to deal with, but losing a child who has not yet had the opportunity to experience life is one of the most heart - breaking situations. Not having the correct support the family needs when dealing the bereavement can cause an even more devastating impact on everyone.

Below is a link for an article 'An open letter to the son I lost to cot death' written by a mutual friend of mine.
Hattie's heart breaking story tells us of the events when she and her family tragically lost their 3 Month old son to Cot death and how Child Bereavement UK helped herself and her family deal with what can only be described as the most agonizing, heart-rending time in their life.

With your donations, you could help a family like Hattie's rebuild themselves.


Thank you for your time.
