The death of a loved one is tough for anyone at any age—but children are especially affected.
When a child experiences a death for the first time, they’ll be looking to the big people around them to figure out how to process grief.
Children who don’t receive reassurance and care during bereavement can be at risk for future complications, such as depression, anxiety, substance use, and suicide.
Supporting a child during this time can help support a healthy future.
