Grief
Grief is a strong and often times overwhelming feeling of loss we experience after the death of a loved one, when there are dramatic changes to our life, or when we our sense of normalcy gets rocked. Much like adults, children go through grief in the non-linear stages of denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and ultimately acceptance.
Below are some resources to help guide your child through the feelings of grief, sadness and loss.
“As much as we want to protect our kids from this pain, it’s really impossible to do and isn’t even advisable— experiencing these emotions is one of the most important things that children, and all of us, need to do"
