Supporting a Grieving Child

With issues as complex as childhood grief, it’s challenging to create a comprehensive brochure to capture everything one needs to know about supporting a grieving child. Many thoughts, emotions, and experiences are considered “normal” in the days, weeks, months, and years after the death of a loved one.

In their grief brochures, What's Your Grief doesn't attempt the impossible. We don’t try to fix or prescribe. Instead, our goal is to normalize a wide range of grief experiences and provide the reader with a starting point for coping with their unique grief. 

Topics discussed in this brochure include:

• General recommendations for supporting a grieving child
• How age impacts a child’s understanding of death and grief
• Helpful support resources and organizations
