Here is a link to a quick post to remind you that children are often called “the forgotten mourners”.
Kids don’t grieve like little adults.
They don’t have the same coping skills or life experience.
Kids don’t sit down and talk about grief the way you or I might.
Kids learn through repetition.
They communicate through play.
They use all of their senses more often to understand.
They are often more concrete thinkers than adults.
But they do love and grieve. . . and I’ve never been more sure of anything else in the world.
