We are grieving the death of a family member from cancer

Losing a loved one to cancer is an incredibly difficult experience, and grief can affect every member of a family in different ways. This page brings together resources to provide support for families coping with the death of a family member to cancer, with a focus on the unique needs of each individual.

This section provides:

• Guidance for parents on supporting children through loss and helping families navigate conversations about death and remember their loved one. 
• Access to grief and bereavement support, including helpline and services.
• Advice on preparing children for funerals and mourning rituals.
• Tips for looking after yourself when you’re grieving the death of a family member.

Every family experiences grief differently, and there’s no “right” way to mourn. These services and resources are here to help families feel supported, understood, and connected during this challenging time.
