Precious Time

'Precious Time' - a book to support children and families who have a loved one approaching the end of their life.

Lyndsey Stukalov-Stone, from our Family Support Team, has published a book called Precious Time. This special book offers families with children support to start a conversation about life-limiting illnesses and to explore feelings that arise when someone special is going to die. This book can be read to the child directly or parents, family or carers can use it as a steer on how to begin starting these difficult conversations with a child. 

We know through experience and research that children seek to be informed and involved when someone special to them is reaching the end of their life. By starting this conversation early, we can support the child, and avoid crisis situations which can cause further confusion and distress.  

A free copy of Precious Time is available to all children and young people needing pre-bereavement support under our care.
