Welcome to the sector hub for Children’s Grief Awareness Week
17 - 23 November 2025
This year, the Week's theme was Sharing Stories, Strengthening Hope
We know that many children and young people feel isolated and lonely, particularly during the initial time after a bereavement. We also know that a bereavement does not define who they are, although it can become part of their identity. This year we wanted to encourage everyone to share a story about a bereavement, because we are all affected by bereavement. Grief is hard but it can also give a child or young person insights and resilience they can take through their life. That’s why we want these stories to highlight hope too, recognising that despite bereavement there are still opportunities and moments to celebrate.
We want encouraged children, young people, families, services, organisations, practitioners, managers and anyone who supports a bereaved child or young person to get involved.
