The BBC reports on an emotional story of how a 21 year old called Bailey Seller has received her last bouquet flowers from her dad who died five years ago from cancer and had pre-paid for her to received flowers until she hit 21 years old. With the flowers she’s also been receiving a handwritten note which this year said: “I will still be with you with every milestone, just look around and there I will be.”
Bereavement is the time we spend adjusting to loss. There is no standard time limit and there is no right or wrong way to feel during the bereavement period – everyone must learn to cope in their own way. We thought about this recently in our PSHCE lessons. It is a difficult but important topic to think about. The NHS provides lots of useful information on bereavement, and the Child Bereavement UK charity offers advice on how to speak to people who are bereaved.
