Hello
i wanted to ask if there was any online support for teenagers in the uk who have lost a parent due to cancer or anything else.
Thanks
James
Hello James,
I am very sorry to see that you have lost your partner to cancer and that your children have lost their mother. It must be a very difficult time for you all.
You have asked specifically about some support for your children and I have found these that may be of help.
Talking to children and teenagers booklet | Macmillan Cancer Support
Resources to help you and your children when you have cancer | Cancer Research UK
These may also offer some advice/sign posting.
The Osborne Trust - Supporting children during a parents Cancer treatment
Maggie's – everyone's home of cancer care (maggies.org)
Helping teenagers cope with death - Cruse Bereavement Support
Grief & Loss | Parents Guide To Support | YoungMinds
I hope this helps a bit. if we can be of any further support to you or your children during this difficult time please do ask.

You are welcome. I hope that there is enough to be looking at without overloading you. It's about having the info there for when you want to look at it and finding the best fit for you and your children.
There is a lot of support out there for you and your children- both from Macmillan and other places. If you wanted to find support for your children ( and you-as you are also important)- in your local area they would be able to search for you on the Support Line.
If at any point there is anything else you feel would help- please do ask
