![]() | Bereaved Parents and Their Continuing Bonds : Love after Death For bereaved parents the development of a continuing bond with the child who has died is a key element in their grieving and in how they manage the future. Using her experience of working in a children's hospital as a counsellor with bereaved parents, Catherine Seigal looks at how continuing bonds are formed, what facilitates and sustains them and what can undermine them. She reflects on what she learned about the counsellor's role supporting parents in extremely distressing situations. Prior to retirement, Catherine Seigal, BACP Senior Accredited Counsellor, worked as a counsellor at a London teaching hospital and provided a counselling service for bereaved parents. |
