Steps to help guide children through this difficult time.
When a death occurs, children often need special attention and support to understand and cope with their feelings. Here are some steps to help guide them through this difficult time.

Encourage them to draw, write, or talk about their feelings. Be patient and give them the time they need.
Yes, showing your emotions can help children understand that it's okay to grieve and express their own feelings.

By offering understanding, comfort, and open communication, you can help children navigate their grief and find healthy ways to cope with the loss of a loved one.
