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?

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
