This is CID’s I Can Decide How I Grieve framework.

It shows how people with intellectual disability can be supported when making decisions about grief.

Supported decision making is when someone helps you make more of your own decisions.

This framework was created with people with intellectual  disability.

How to use it

You can use this framework when you talk about making decisions with your supporters.

You can make decisions about how you grieve.

Supported decision making is about you being at the centre of your own decisions.

You can make more of your own decisions when you have things and people to support you.

We also have a framework for making decisions about dying.
