Hi


Please can someone recommend any help at all about helping my 6yo daughter to grieve the loss of her grandpa? We are trying to talk to her and get her to open up but she is really struggling and it is absolutely heartbreaking.


Looking possibly for a grief counsellor that specialises in talking to young children but any advice at all from others who have been through a similar experience will be greatly appreciated. Counselling may not be the best route for her but right now I am willing to try anything.


Many thanks

Mel

There is a lovely book by Carol Ann Duffy about ageing and death, called "The Gift".


It also has beautiful illustrations.


It's very short. I think it would be suitable for a six year old but obviously you would have to decide whether it might help your daughter, and whether now would be an appropriate time anyway.


I'm very sorry for your loss, and I really feel for your daughter.


ETA: Cruse may be able to recommend a suitable counsellor?

    • Anyone can deliver for Evri - my daughter having just passed her driving test tried Evri to make some money - they basically give you a route and as many parcels as they think you can cope with - you make money for each one you deliver, so you can imagine - speed is the priority. Why would they wait for you to answer the door when they can just throw it and take a photo? If you have a choice, choose a different courier service or shop elsewhere where they do.  
    • Boil - it’s the customer’s fault, not the delivery person’s. 
    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
