Talking to Your Child About Loss 
Grief is hard — especially for children. When a loved one passes away, kids need honesty, comfort, and space to ask questions.
Here are a few gentle ways to start the conversation:
Listen first. Let them share what they know or feel.
Use clear, age-appropriate language. Avoid euphemisms like “went to sleep.”
Say it’s okay to feel sad, angry, or confused. Emotions aren’t wrong.
Share memories. This keeps loved ones close in their hearts.
Be patient. Grief isn’t linear — and neither is healing.
Above all: be present. Your love, even in silence, means more than perfect words.
