This chapter discusses the importance of groupwork when dealing with bereaved children. Bereavement can lead a child to become isolated from his/her peers, and usually bereaved children believe that they don't think that anyone else in their school knows and understands exactly what they are going through. Groups for the bereaved at any age can have a significant role in providing support to those members who feel that they are all alone and isolated after someone they knew and loved died. The discussion in this chapter also looks at different models of groupwork that come from several psychotherapeutic traditions.
