Whilst we can't take away the pain of bereavement, with appropriate support and information children & young people can be helped to understand what has happened and gradually encouraged to rebuild their lives and have hope for the future. Thank you @CBNtweets for running #CGAW24

#BuildingHope for bereaved children, young people, and their families is so very important. No young person should be left alone to deal with grief and I’m proud to support Children’s grief awareness week to help make it so. @cbukhelp

We love your approach to supporting bereaved children and young people through music - thank you so much @FischyMusic!
This Children's Grief Awareness Week, especially today on Children's Grief Awareness Day, we have been sharing songs to help support children through the tough times of life. Take a look at our Loss and Change Playlist: https://t.co/nujm1bjaEO

Younger bereaved children may not understand the finality of death. So use factual words like died or dead rather than confuse them with euphemisms like ‘gone’ or 'passed away'. This gives them clarity, which supports acceptance, which brings healing. #CGAW24 #buildinghope #grief

So important to get children's grief right - only way is through it not around it or over it (hat tip @MichaelRosenYes 🎩). @sibling_support do remarkable work and are marking Children's Grief Awareness Week #CGAW24
Today within Children's Grief Awareness Week #CGAW24 we have the opportunity to highlight siblings and their grief. You may be familiar with Molly's story on our website. Molly's brother died from a heart condition called Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.

Children are resilient, and although a grieving child will experience some tough emotions, it's important not to underestimate their ability to thrive. Give them opportunities to achieve, to excel, to do amazing things. Let them outgrow their grief. #CGAW24 #Grief #buildinghope

What a wonderful idea - thank you so much @SimonSaysCBS for sharing.
For day four of #CGAW24 we want to share with you one of our #BuildingHope activities. Our Young People’s Group made a ‘Window of Hope.’ Messages, written by our young people of things they are looking forward to and their ideas about hope in their lives are tied to the window.
