Immy and her family are backing the campaign after the death of mum Kerry Leith from cancerSchool lessons on bereavement could help children deal with the loss of a close family member, a group has said.The National Association of Funeral Directors, which said its members often have to act as counsellors, is organising a petition to get the matter debated in Parliament.Kerry Leith had been diagnosed with cancer two years previously when her daughter was eight.
The family including dad, Richard, younger brother Josh and older sister Rebecca were helped by local funeral director John Adams at Perry & Phillips."We were really lucky that John walked into our home on that morning, not just as a person who'd come to collect the body, but he took the kids aside and said 'this is about you, you're at the centre of this,'" said Mr Leith.
Richard Leith agrees with John, and wishes other families could be better prepared for a bereavement.
