Bereavement Care
LauraLynn understands that caring for a child with a life-limiting illness involves many different losses, from which family members can experience bereavement.
Grief and bereavement can begin at the point a family receives a diagnosis of a life limiting condition.
LauraLynn provides a continuum of bereavement supports to family members throughout their bereavement journey.
These include:
- a three year programme of targeted supports for bereaved families after the death of a child
- a number of universal supports such as Remembrance events which all Lauralynn families who are bereaved, can access.
These supports are holistic and tailored to the individual social and emotional needs of bereaved family members. They include:
- One to one and/or group support
- The use of therapeutic music and play for children
- The use of creative arts for children and families
Support may take place in LauraLynn House, online or in the family home.
