Honesty is the best policy when talking to children about death and dying - even though it can be painful.

Every child will require a different approach depending on their age, needs, and circumstances, but here are some ideas that might help guide the conversation:

➡️ Be open and honest as much as is possible, and in an age appropriate way.

➡️ Avoid using euphemisms like the person is ‘sleeping’ as this can be
confusing – particularly for younger children, or those who are neurodivergent.

➡️ Choose clear and simple language. As painful as it may be, it is best to be clear that the person has died and won’t be coming back.

Are you worried about someone's mental health?

Sometimes the smallest actions can make the biggest difference when someone is struggling.

Here are some little things you can do to make your loved ones feel supported:

❤️ Check in with friends who haven't been themselves lately

❤️ Offer practical support, such as calling to say, 'I've made extra food for dinner, and I'm passing by your place - want me to drop any round?'

❤️ Send them a 'this made me think of you' text alongside something they love, to let them know you're thinking of them, and create opportunities for low-pressure connection
