From Martenson Funeral Home, Inc.'s website
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, which may cause them to feel abandoned and scared. Children between 7 and 12 begin to understand death as permanent and may regard it as a personal threat. Teenagers understand death similarly to adults but may express grief through dramatic or reckless behaviors. It is important to talk to the child simply and truthfully, avoiding confusing phrases, and allowing them to ask questions.
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.
