In the past at the time of a death, it was felt best to try to protect both children and those with learning difficulties by either offering no explanation or even sending the person away. Studies and case histories have shown that such means have caused disturbed reactions and emotional damage well into the future. However, honest, careful explanations and the multiplicity of bereavement issues may prove perplexing. The authors address these issues with an adaptable and visual approach specifically designed for both families and carers to share the experience of death and bereavement with people of all ages with learning disabilities. The pack consists of five sets of sensitively illustrated cards: Explaining life cycles, examples of birds and animals; Illness, accidents, death from different causes and at different times of life; What happens after a death, examples of funerals, burials, cremations and memorials; Understanding feelings; and How to find help. The cards should provide the opportunity for personal identification and understanding, and thus confusion should be reduced and the reality of loss understood and eventually accepted. The pack will be useful for both families and carers in a variety of situations, and with people of all ages, backgrounds and denominations.
