Living well through grief Library
Caring for children and young people through grief often means carrying a great deal yourself.
This part of the Glimmer Library focuses on you, recognising that how you are supported matters, and that looking after yourself is not an extra, but part of the work of caring.
Living Well Through Grief offers guidance to help parents, carers, and professionals:
- Notice the impact grief and stress may be having on them
- Find steadiness while supporting others
- Understand emotional, physical, and nervous system responses
- Take small, realistic steps toward care and restoration
These guides sit alongside the rest of the Glimmer Library, gently reminding you that supporting children and young people does not mean doing it alone or at the expense of your own wellbeing.
