How do you explain the death of a loved one to a child?
The age and emotional development of a child will influence the way they experience grief. Up to 7 years of age, children see death mainly as a separation event. Children in the 7 to 12 age group understand death as a permanent event and may regard it as a personal threat. Teenagers understand death similarly to adults but may express grief through dramatic or reckless behaviors.
How long am I going to feel this way?
Every person is different, and so is their grief. Each person will follow a different path toward healing. Although there is no right or wrong amount of time to complete the grieving process, many experts agree that it is not unusual to take at least a year to move through the grieving process.
What is complicated grief?
Sometimes the healing process may become disrupted or delayed if other events or traumatic losses have previously occurred in a person’s life. This may be especially true if the other loss is relatively recent, or has never been fully processed in and of itself. This grief experience is known as “complicated grief.” People who are dealing with this type of grief may benefit by working with professionals who are trained in dealing with complex grief issues.
