Grief will touch everyone and can be a challenging process to navigate, especially if you are facing unique experiences and circumstances. This Pride month, we have put together specific resources to support the LGBTQ+ community to ensure that everyone receives the right, tailored support for their own unique needs. 

At Grief Encounter, we believe in the power of words, and use many different books and stories to give support to children and young people experiencing grief after the death of someone close.
