PALS (Pregnancy After Loss Support) is not only a resource for bereaved families, but also features a section of advice for friends and family of #bereavedparents as well: https://t.co/WJKiu65iOb
If you have a loved one who needs #support this may be a good place to start.

When Amy Green’s young son was diagnosed with a rare brain tumor, she made up a bedtime story for his siblings to teach them about cancer. What resulted was a video game, “The Dragon, Cancer,” which takes players on a journey they can’t win. Learn more: https://t.co/bDsil3EeJD

Join me as I endeavour to start a #healthygriefmovement in which people of all ages are encouraged to grieve & heal openly. Educating children & adults on the subjects of loss, grief, and healthy healing will put us all on a path to better understanding. https://t.co/BsQvSOS0yR
