The importance of allowing bereaved siblings the opportunity to be involved and mourn the loss of a sibling family member has gained increasing recognition. Child family members may need support in the same way that parents might need support to cope with a devastating loss. However, there are often few support services specifically focused to support bereaved children. Therefore, this article describes how a children's hospice provides specific support for bereaved siblings, by providing an opportunity for bereaved siblings to share a residential support weekend, known as the Treasure Weekend. The article describes the rationale, aims and the experience of the children's hospice, in facilitating this support service.
让失去亲人的兄弟姐妹有机会参与并哀悼兄弟姐妹家庭成员的离世，其重要性已得到越来越多的认可。儿童家庭成员可能需要与父母应对毁灭性损失时所需的支持方式相同的支持。然而，专门针对支持失去亲人的儿童的支持服务往往很少。因此，本文描述了一家儿童临终关怀机构如何通过为失去亲人的兄弟姐妹提供一个共享住宿支持周末（即“宝藏周末”）的机会，为他们提供具体支持。本文描述了儿童临终关怀机构在推动这项支持服务时的基本原理、目标和经验。
