Making Christmas Special for Bereaved Families
We understand that Christmas can be a difficult time of year, when we often feel the loss of a loved one even more. Doing something special as a mark of remembrance can help families to cope and reflect. Here are some of our ideas:

As part of our Tree of Light event this year, we have created a children’s activity sheet that can be shared with the family. Completing the activities with children may help to introduce the Tree of Light and allow families to talk about its meaning and importance.
Download the Tree of Light Activity SheetIf you’re finding Christmas time emotionally challenging, know you are not alone. There is much support available and you can find more information on our website.
