How to Talk Kids About Death & Loss: Navigating Childhood Grief

The topic of death is often avoided with children, despite its unavoidable certainty in life. When death occurs in the life of a child, adults are frequently uncertain of how to talk about it or what to do. The avoidance of the topic compounds the grief, leading to long-lasting detrimental effects on the child, their family, and the community. Communication is imperative for both the child and the adult. This handbook aims to provide the reader with a starting point for understanding a child's developmental stage in relation to grieving and initial strategies for supporting the grieving child. Based on thorough research and personal experience, the book is a necessary tool for any parent, caregiver, teacher, or adult who is helping a child navigate grief.
