I've never seen a Guiding Conversation which has been "franchised" which is what it looks like has happened here. London & South East England (note the "Region" has been dropped) have produced a really good Guiding Conversation on Bereavement in collaboration with a number of UK authorities on the subject. I wish it had been around in 2005 when my own children suffered a bereavement, and there was very little information around to support them. This provides some really sensible practical advice including bereavement in different faith traditions, and finishes with some useful URL's to explore for further support (see below):
