Helping Children with Grief

Parent Resources for Helping Children Deal with Death

Helping a grieving child can be difficult. Parents often wonder:

• What do I say to my child?

• Is it ok for me to cry in front of my child?

• Should I bring my child to a funeral?

The resource below can help you to answer these questions and many more.

This link is from New York Life in conjunction with Dr. Schonfeld, Director of the National Center for School Crisis and Bereavement at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. He wrote this booklet to help parents and other adults support a grieving child.

I think you will find the information very helpful and informative.
