Some tips for supporting your children in their grief at the loss of their Mum or Dad.

Jane’s husband Bryan was training to run the London Marathon. On a training run, he collapsed and died because of a previously undiagnosed genetic heart condition. Now, six years later, Jane is a befriender with A Different Journey, supporting others who have experienced the loss of a partner at a young age.
- Maintaining your relationship as parents after your child has died
When the Bereaved Parents' Network runs a Day or Weekend event for bereaved parents, one of the things that we often explore is the profound effect that the death of a child has on different relationships. It isn't surprising that the relationship where it has potentially the most impact is that between the two parents.
