Publications

We publish a wide range of leaflets and books on many aspects of grief, both for bereaved parents and their families and for those who help them.

Many bereaved people have emphasised how important it was for them to read about grief, what other people had experienced and what they themselves might expect in the future. Reading that the bewildering and unfamiliar feelings they are struggling through are common to so many others in similar circumstances can be immensely helpful - suddenly they feel normal again instead of wondering if they are going crazy.

For family and friends wondering how best to help and support a bereaved family our simple leaflet of suggestions of what to do and what not to do has long been a basic and important standby.

For professionals, such as police, teachers, clergy and funeral directors, there are leaflets offering knowledge based on long experience, and ideas for best practice.
