Support for families when facing serious illness or loss of a loved one
Support amid grief and uncertaintyA serious illness or the death of someone close can suddenly change the life for a family drastically children and cause strong grief, fear, worry and uncertainty. The situation affects the whole family, especially children, who need safety and understanding to process what has happened. Fortunately, the family is not left alone: municipal services, organisations, parishes and peer-support groups can provide help, a listening ear, and practical support at different stages of the crisis. Timely support that respects the family’s situation can help build hope and strengthen the family’s ability to cope with a difficult situation.
