Impact of Death on a Sibling

 IMPACT OF DEATH ON A SIBLING

Penthos is aware that that the death of a sibling can impact on any surviving children. This can impact on all areas of their functioning including their health, behaviour, schoolwork and relationships with others. 

This is often as a result of the impact of the loss on the parents and their previous parenting capacity. The parents’ emotional resources are severely stretched as a time when the needs of surviving children have to be considered. The children may also feel the parents need to be cared for by them

This is why Penthos offers its program for the parental couple. Penthos therapists are trained to understand the needs of children and families. 

Seeking Help and Counselling

Penthos’ team of experienced and specially trained couple therapists help parents manage and integrate the grief, stress and trauma of losing a child. 

Penthos is funded by donors to provide grieving parents with no cost therapy.
