Whether it is a personal bereavement or supporting a friend, family member or client, bereavement is difficult. One of the biggest challenges can be wanting to say something but fear of making things worse.

This CPD module on bereavement introduces you the terms bereavement and grief. It explores different models and factors that can affect grief and the importance of language when talking to someone about their grief. It finishes looking at different techniques that can support someone and how you can support them in the days and months that follow.
