Scotland’s first Bereavement Charter for Children and Adults has been launched.
https://scottishcare.org/bereavement/
The Charter describes what good bereavement care and support should look like – even more important now with COVID-19.
People who are bereaved may not have been able to be with a person as they approach the end of their life and may be isolated from their usual networks of support.
It has also changed the traditional ways we are able to mark our grief. Traditional bereavement rituals and funerals have changed with many people now unable to attend funerals in the way that they might have in the past.
Many deaths have become sudden with little or no time to prepare.
Every death is unique and that the way we each come to terms with a death is individual. This Charter describes the difference good bereavement support can make.
