Patients’ and family carers’ experience of community-based end of life care during the Covid-19 pandemic in a Scottish health and care partnership
A sharp increase in demand for home-based end of life care in Fife,Scotland during the COVID-19 pandemic, was the catalyst for a mixed methods study examining the reality of such care. This study sought to understand how patients and families experienced care and support at the end of life in their own homes during the pandemic. The qualitative arm of a wider study used narrative methodology. Purposive sampling ensured that current patients and t…
UK childhood bereavement services
Childhood bereavement services are a relatively recent form of child welfare provision in the UK. They are predicated on assumptions about the development of children and on an increasing research base that describes the potential impact of childhood bereavement and that support following bereavement is beneficial. UK services largely began as a result of practitioners responding to the needs of bereaved children. Over time, services have become …
The ‘Grieving Parents’
Bereavement in the Arts \nThe Grieving Parents by Käthe Kollwitz. \nThis paper reflects on Käthe Kollwitz’s sculpture of ‘Trauerndes Ehepaar’ (the Grieving Parents) and the ways in which it offers profound insight into the experience of parental loss and grief that it portrays
The impact of practical support on parental bereavement
This article, drawing on data from a wider study, describes the impact that U.K. bereaved military parents ascribe to the practical support (help with home and garden maintenance) that they received following the death of their son. The type of practical support offered to parents has had a wide-ranging and significant impact on them. In addition to helping them find meaning and maintain continuing bonds, this form of support contributed to their…

Challenges in evaluating childhood bereavement services
This paper discusses the evaluation of childhood bereavement services in the UK policy context and some of the challenges this presents. Two key difficulties are discussed: the lack of any clear, agreed outcomes from bereavement interventions with children, and the challenge of evaluating the complex social processes that bereavement interventions involve. Two recommendations are made to address these in the short term and to generate data for wi…
Mapping evaluation of UK childhood bereavement services
This article reports a study of evaluation strategies and tools currently used within UK child bereavement services. Data were sought from a representative sample of services across the UK on the evaluations’ users, the data requested, and organisations' existing evaluation strategies. The study found that child bereavement services were struggling with a considerable burden of demand for information from a range of users – chiefly funders and co…
Narrating Time
Childhood parental bereavement is a terrible event which has the potential to fracture their storyline, depriving them of the capacity to make meaning of this event—a component considered essential for adaptation to loss. This article is an exploration of how time is used by one mother in order to minimise disruption and discontinuity, and to do “meaning-making” in the face of the sudden, impending death of her children's father following a road …
The voluntary contribution to UK childhood bereavement services
This paper describes the unpaid contribution to UK childhood bereavement service provision. Data on staffing was gained through a national postal survey and eight organizational case studies. Compared to volunteers in specialist palliative care and hospice settings, unpaid staff were drawn from a younger age range, were more likely to be in full or part-time employment, and had more personal experience of a close bereavement. Whilst services were…
Children and young people's experience of UK childhood bereavement services
This paper describes the experiences of bereaved children and parents and their use of UK childhood bereavement services. It forms part of a larger qualitative study and was undertaken in the context of questions about the impact of bereavement on children and their status and participation in research, raising important methodological and ethical issues. Interviews were undertaken with 24 bereaved children and 16 parents who had used one of eigh…
Bracketing interviews
A major challenge for researchers using qualitative methods is to explore how their assumptions and experiences may be influencing the construction of knowledge. In a study of UK childhood bereavement services, “bracketing interviews” were used to explore the impact of the researcher's personal and professional experiences during data collection and analysis. Bracketing interviews provide an important research-focussed relationship that adapts th…
Childhood bereavement services
This paper outlines the broad key findings from a research project on UK childhood bereavement service provision, using eight organizational case studies. Despite a shared objective of 'helping bereaved children' services were very diverse. Three organizational types were identified with differing management and administrative structures, each of which had different implications for staff. Although the overall size and employment status (paid or …
