Publications and resources

Books and resources to help support bereaved children

Written by experts, our specialist books help parents, carers and professionals to support children and young people bereaved of a loved one. They cover death by suicide, homicide, serious illness and in the military and are suitable for young children through to teenagers. You can see our books below and visit our shop to see all our resources including memory boxes.

Each purchase you make will allow us to help more bereaved children and young people.

We give out almost 8,000 resources and publications free of charge to families every year. You can help us do this by donating to Winston’s Wish.
