Practical steps after the loss of a child: a Guide by JAGS Connect

This guide was put together by JAGS Connect as a compilation of guidelines and additional information specifically for those who lost a child. Though it is not an exhaustive guide by any means, nor an official government document, we hope it will give you a scope of what steps a parent will take after the death of their child.
