Talking to Children about the Loss of a Loved One

“Children are no strangers to grief. Even infants and toddlers react to loss. When younger children are shielded from death, silence does not take away their pain; it only increases their sense of isolation and abandonment. We need to acknowledge their fears as real – they are! Above all, we must utilize teachable moments to talk about death in reaching out to children in this, the most profound and far reaching changes of their lives.” — Earl A.
