Lesson Overview

1.82 – How to Talk to Younger Siblings or Friends: Explaining suicide to a younger child can feel overwhelming because you want to protect them from pain. But honesty, shared with care, helps them understand what’s going on. Use simple words and let them ask questions, even if you don’t have all the answers. It’s okay to say that the person was very sad or sick in their mind. Encourage them to share their feelings and remind them it’s not their fault. Listening is more powerful than perfect words. Children learn from your calm tone and the way you handle your emotions. Keeping routines helps them feel safe while you all grieve together. Comfort can come from drawing pictures, writing letters, or remembering happy times. The goal is to give them love and security while gently helping them face what happened.
