Lesson Overview

7.6 – Supporting Kids Through Loss or Separation: Supporting a child through loss requires gentle honesty and emotional availability. Whether it’s death, divorce, or a loved one moving away, grief affects children in waves. Adults can help by naming emotions simply and offering consistent presence. Avoid overexplaining or hiding pain; authenticity teaches emotional strength. Rituals like drawing pictures or lighting candles can help children express memories and sadness safely. Encouraging questions prevents confusion or guilt from taking root. Each child grieves differently, so patience and repetition are essential. Maintaining normal routines gives structure when the heart feels uncertain. It’s important to reassure that feelings of anger, fear, or even laughter are all acceptable during grief. The goal isn’t to erase the pain but to walk with the child through it. With time and openness, loss becomes a space for connection and healing.
