childhood grief

Childhood grief is the emotional response children experience when they lose someone important, such as a loved one or a pet. Children may feel sadness, confusion, anger, or guilt, and their understanding of death varies with age. They might show their feelings through behavior changes, acting out, withdrawal, or difficulty concentrating. Grief can impact their sense of security and normal routine. It's important to support children with patience and honest communication, providing reassurance and understanding as they process their emotions and learn to cope with their loss.
