How do you explain the death of a loved one to a child?
Up to 7 years of age, children see death mainly as a separation event, which may cause them to feel abandoned and scared, potentially leading to behavioral issues like temper tantrums or refusal to obey. Children aged 7 to 12 begin to understand death as permanent and may view it as a personal threat, leading to fears of dying themselves or social withdrawal. Teenagers understand death similarly to adults but may express grief through dramatic or reckless behaviors, and parents should be aware of suicide warning signs and seek professional counseling if needed.
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.
