Abstract

Childhood bereavement is a common experience, but there is a lack of recent data on its prevalence. Existing studies are small-scale and do not document when bereavement experiences start to occur in the life course. These gaps in research pose a significant issue in both understanding and responding to children’s bereavement experiences. This paper provides the first prevalence study of childhood bereavement in Scotland.
