Grief and bereavement webinar

We know how hard it is for parents, carers and family members to understand and process anticipatory grief when they receive the diagnosis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

To help you and your family understand more about your feelings and thought processes, we are proud to share the webinar recording with crisis and bereavement expert Dr David Schonfeld.

• Understanding the process of anticipating the death of a child
• Understanding feelings around the time of diagnosis relating to grief over loss of the imagined or idealised child
• Learning from others discussions – “what I wish I knew then that I know now”
