Grief and Bereavement

Loss is one of the hardest experiences children face. Whether a child is grieving the death of a loved one, the loss of a pet, a miscarriage in the family, or the illness of someone they love, they need honest information, emotional support, and reassurance that their feelings are welcome.

Children don't "get over" grief. Instead, they learn to carry their loss while continuing to grow, love, and engage with life. The resources below will help you talk with children about death, support them through grief, and navigate some of the most difficult conversations families face.
