Children's Bereavement

Children’s bereavement refers to the emotional and psychological process a child experiences after losing a loved one, such as a parent, sibling, or close family member. Children may express their grief differently depending on their age, developmental level, and understanding of death. They might feel sadness, anger, confusion, or guilt, and may need support to process their emotions. It's important to provide honest, age-appropriate information and reassurance, allowing children to grieve in their own way. Proper support helps them navigate their feelings, adapt over time, and develop healthy coping skills.
