SEPTEMBER 9th 2022 UPDATE -
I have included here a very useful link as the Head of Innovation in Education at Thrive, Viv Trask-Hall, speaks with Child Bereavement UK's Education Development Officer, Rebecca Haycock, in the immediate aftermath of the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
The video is only 9 minutes long but offers some very informative, helpful insights and guidance on how we can help children, and ourselves, open up honest discussions about death and the impact it has upon our emotions, thoughts and questions.

Please never lose sight of the simple truth that you may well have family and friends who want to call you, to share that they care and are here for you. Often they are just worried that they may not have the 'right words' to say to you. Give them a quick call and let them be there for you x
