This is a rather sensitive subject but does anyone know of any specialised bereavement services for children with special needs in Sheffield? Cruise can't offer help as they don't have people to deal with children with special needs and social services can offer no help either.
I'd be gratefull if anyone has any info I can pass on.
Thanks
Don't know of any services per se but you might try having a chat with an organisation like CRUSE. There's a book of readings and poems that I've found of value ove the years called 'All in the end is harvest' but it's aimed at adults - sorry can't be any more use.
