Estate Planning

Coping With Loss

By Hull & Hull LLP

As estates lawyers, we interact with clients dealing with the loss of a friend or relative on a daily basis. In our role as estate litigation counsel or in advising on the administration of an estate, we can easily overlook the very real and emotionally charged aspects of coping with a loss.

The other day, I came across an excellent series of web pages posted by the BBC. Entitled “Coping with Grief - Bereavement”, the feature provides information and advice on dealing with the emotional and physical effects of bereavement. The pages address the physical effects of grief, how bereavement effects adults and children, coping with sudden and unexpected death, the death of a child, the death of a parent, the death of a spouse, the death of a friend, and even the death of a pet. Other pages discuss how to help others through grief, and how to help children and answer their questions.

The pages include numerous links to other resources.

I commend this highly informative series to you. 

Thank you for reading.
