When you are caring for a grieving child, you may sometimes feel like you do not know how to help them. It can be painful to see their sadness, but you can help. If you try to connect with your child, then you can help them through grief and loss. This pamphlet explains how you can help when your child is coping with disease, dying, the death of a loved one, and grief. Tips for developmental stages (pre-school aged children, school aged children, and pre-teens to teenagers) are included. A list of online resources is provided. The French version of this pamphlet 2146, "Parler de la mort et du deuil aux enfants : Information pour les parents et les personnes qui s’occupent des enfants", is also available.
