Children and Grief

Children may have may have trouble processing and understanding their own feelings at times.
They may be curious but scared to ask. Be clear, talk to them in terms they can understand. Children may demonstrate their grief differently than adults. While adults tend to focus on grief, children will often break up their grief into smaller chunks, an example would be switching activities like play.
