supporting bereaved children & young people
One child in every UK classroom will experience the death of someone close by the time they reach 16 years old. Grief Encounter is here to help with the confusion, fear, loneliness and pain, providing a lifeline to children and young people to cope with free, immediate, one-to-one support.
The memory wall is your own special place to post a picture, share some words and light a candle in the memory of someone close to you that has died. It was created by the Okrent Family, in loving memory of Stephen Okrent, who died suddenly during the COVID 19 Pandemic.
“My dad had a heart attack, I carried on going to school and then everything started to change. I started to develop a stutter and I would wake-up crying, having nightmares and night terrors. Grief Encounter helps pretty much everyone feel better about themselves; I know it helped me find my voice again.”
Myles was 6 when his daddy died, now a member of the Grief Encounter choir, he proudly sang with Katherine Jenkins
