Currently UK bereavement leave for parents after the loss of a child is two weeks. We believe this is not enough time to begin to grieve or plan and have the funeral before returning to work. We want to get the law changed so parents have more time to grieve after such a huge loss.

After a tragic loss of a child we think two weeks is not enough time to bury or begin the grieving process. There is no time limit on grief. If this can be extended by a further two - four weeks it would be added time to be able to start a grief process. Our aim it to get this in to parliament to enable a change and help parents feel like they matter.
