It includes all the resources developed as part of IHF’s Care & Inform hub which was specially created to respond to the needs of those facing dying, death and bereavement during Covid-19 restrictions.
Support for Grieving in Exceptional times includes advice and guidance on acknowledging and coping with grief from a Covid-19 death, what to expect when planning a funeral as well as helping children deal with loss and grief.
