Here, after everything changes

When a child dies, grief can feel overwhelming and isolating. We stay with families for as long as they need, with compassion, continuity and space to remember

Bereavement support

When a child dies, life changes forever. Grief becomes part of everyday life, in ways that can be hard to explain. At Sebastian’s Action Trust, you remain part of our community, for as long as you want us.

Our bereavement support is grounded in compassion, understanding and continuity. We offer space to remember, space to talk and space simply to be, in a supportive and caring environment.

Holding space for grief

Every family’s experience of loss is unique, and so is the support we offer. Our family services team stays connected with bereaved families for as long as they wish, offering a gentle, steady presence through the months and years ahead. This might include: 

One-to-one emotional support

A familiar family support worker is always here to listen, whether you need to talk, cry, share memories, or simply sit in silence. Support can take place at The Bluebells, by phone or online.

Peer-to-peer connection

We know how powerful it can be to speak with others who truly understand. Our peer support groups bring bereaved parents together in a safe, caring environment where experiences can be shared openly, honestly and at your own pace.

Remembrance and reflection

Throughout the year, we hold remembrance events that give families time and space to honour their child. These gatherings are thoughtful, inclusive and deeply personal – opportunities to celebrate a life, speak a name and feel part of a community that remembers with you.

Support for siblings

Grief can look different for every child. We offer opportunities for siblings to express their feelings, connect with other children who have experienced loss and take part in nurturing activities designed just for them.

A place to come back to

Many bereaved families tell us that The Bluebells feels like a sanctuary – a place where they can return when the world feels too heavy and where their child’s memory is always honoured. Whether you join us for a coffee, a quiet walk, or a supportive conversation, the door is always open.

Here for as long as you need us

There is no timeline for grief. No expectation to move on, or be “better”. We stay by your side for as long as you want our support. Your child will always be remembered here.
