Hospice care is more than you think and during Grief Awareness Week, we want to highlight how we support children as they navigate grief and loss. At Thames Hospice, our care goes beyond adults and end-of-life support to help the youngest members of families cope with bereavement.

Our specialist services for children include:
- Safe spaces to express emotions and ask questions
- Creative activities to help process grief in a gentle, age-appropriate way
- One-to-one guidance and group support, ensuring no child faces grief alone

Through compassion, understanding, and practical support, we help children process their feelings, build resilience, and find hope during difficult times. Hospice care is about caring for the whole family and supporting children through grief is a vital part of that.

About Thames Hospice

Thames Hospice is the local charity providing expert care for people living with life-limiting illnesses in East Berkshire and South Buckinghamshire. A vital part of our work is also supporting their families and carers.

We care for the physical, social and psychological needs of our patients, not just the condition. Our highly skilled medical team works with the patient, their family and carers, to develop a complete programme of care tailored to their individual needs.

Our services include therapy, nursing and medical care, as well as practical and emotional support in our Hospice at Windsor and in patients' homes.

It costs £8 million every year to keep our Hospice running. We rely on our community for over 50% of the funds we have to raise annually to provide our services free of charge, 365 days a year, to the people who need us.
