Welcome to the sector hub for Children’s Grief Awareness Week
16 - 22 November 2026
Check back soon for details of the theme and resources
Last year, our 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. In 2025 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 wanted these stories to highlight hope too, recognising that despite bereavement there are still opportunities and moments to celebrate.
