A child's drawing: Happiness is a teardrop away

support for children and young people
following bereavement or loss

  • Has someone in your family or a good friend died?
  • Have your parents split up and one of them gone to live somewhere else?

When these things happen it can be hard to cope with all the changes and we may feel:

  • Sad
  • Angry
  • Let down
  • Unhappy
  • Scared
  • Alone
  • Confused
  • Guilty
  • Fed up

Maybe it would be good to have someone to talk to who could help you to understand and cope.

At Butterflies our Support Workers have listened to lots of children and young people who needed their help to deal with all these things.

They can help you to sort out your feelings through activities such as drawing, writing, making memory jars and finding ways to get through difficult times.

A grown up can come with you and get support too if they need it.
