Children's Perspectives

Children experience death and grief in ways that depend on their age, understanding, and the support around them. This section offers guidance on what children may think or feel, how to talk with them honestly and gently, and books and films that can help families start meaningful conversations about loss, love, and remembrance. It also explores common questions children ask, how their understanding changes as they grow, and ways to help them feel safe while expressing their emotions. Even small acts of listening, comfort, and routine can help a child begin to heal.
