Memories and me – loss and bereavement pack
In our Memories and me programme, we help children to think about loss, bereavement and grief. Children have a chance to share their thoughts and experiences in a sensitive and emotionally-containing way and understand how it may affect them so that they are more aware and able to seek the support they need.
This programme helps children to understand the need to share our experiences and celebrate our memories with someone we can trust. Sometimes it may be that the ideas in this programme would be shared with just one child and an empathic adult rather than a group. It may however be that a few children together could be supportive and benefit from the group experience. Through the discussion and activities, the children will:
- understand the range of losses that we may experience,
- explore how feelings can be painful and hurt physically and emotionally,
- know about the range of feelings we can have when we experience loss,
- understand the stages of grief and how they aren’t always linear,
- recognise how loss can affect us all differently,
- be supported to reflect on special memories and create momentoes.
Our wellbeing resources are thorough and detailed, time-saving and provide the language to help pastoral staff listen, notice and encourage children to express their thoughts and feelings in a way that is safe, supportive and relational.
Our programmes teach and embed transferable emotional literacy skills that are vital in both class and life.
