The Grieving Child

"The Grieving Child" refers to a young person's emotional response to loss, such as the death of a loved one. Children may experience a wide range of feelings—sadness, anger, confusion—and their understanding of death can vary based on age. They might show their grief through changes in behavior, difficulty concentrating, or withdrawal. It's important to support them with honest, age-appropriate communication and reassurance, recognizing that each child's grieving process is unique. Providing a safe space for expression helps children process their emotions healthily and adapt over time.
