Grieving is never easy and the death of a partner, friend or anyone important all bring their own pain. However, there is something about the death of a child that is particularly hard to bear. When that child is your grandchild, dealing with your own grief, while having to witness the grief of your son or daughter, can feel like a double loss.

Child Bereavement UK have a section on their website to provide information and support, link below.
