FREE RESOURCES FOR GRIEF & LOSS

Here, you’ll find a list of helpful resources for coping with grief and talking to children and young people about death.

As well as the below, each edition of our Wombat’s Wish Newsletter features articles, recommended reading, podcasts and more to support you or your child/young person through the grieving process. You can find our newsletters here.

Please get in touch with us if we can provide further support or advice. Remember, it’s easy to make a referral to Wombat’s Wish to find out more about our weekend camps and other support services, and we’re always here to help.
