Children’s Grief Awareness Week takes place from 16th to 22nd November 2026. It’s a time to recognise the experiences of children and young people who have lost someone important to them and to help them, and the adults around them, know where to turn for support.
North Lincolnshire Council's Public Health Team have created a booklet called Supporting children and young people who have bereaved which brings together local and national information around bereavement including where to find help and support in North Lincolnshire for young people and the adults around them. The link for this document is at the end of this page.
Told through the eyes of nine-year-old Milly, the film explores grief, guilt and unanswered questions, while highlighting how a parent's love can endure even after they have gone.
The screenings will take place at Discover@20-21 on Thursday 19 November, 3.30pm to 5pm, as part of Children’s Grief Awareness Week, and at the Plowright Theatre on Thursday 3 December, 5.30pm to 7pm, as part of National Grief Awareness Week.
