Support for teenagers and children

Losing a family member can be a most devastating time for children and teenagers. At the side of this page, you will find links to several charities who specialise in supporting young people who are living with a close relative who has a terminal condition.
Some of these charities also help parents and grandparents who have lost a young relative.
Your GP is also available to speak to if you are finding that you need further support.
