Helping Children Cope Children experience overwhelming feelings when someone close to them dies - sadness, confusion, shock, fear, anger, guilt and worry. In the midst of these reactions, children must also struggle with the reality of what has happened and manage a multitude of changes in their daily routines that accompany loss. Children look to adults for cues on dealing with their new circumstances following a death. Yet parents and guardians often feel just as overwhelmed or unsure about how to help support them. Supporting Kidds can help. |
