Bereavement charities have had to adapt quickly to the rising need for support during the pandemic, and Harry's Rainbow have done an inspiring job posting out Positivity Boxes to every grieving child in the post, along with the range of crafting activities.

I talk to founder Odette Mould about her journey to set up Harry's Rainbow after her beloved son Harry suddenly died aged 5, and her recommendations for how to support grieving children in the early days of bereavement.
