When a loved one dies, the grief and feeling of loss can turn your world upside down. Often we feel as though our lives have been uprooted and that we are unable to cope with day to day life. Understanding and supporting children and teens during this time can be difficult. It is important during these times to look after yourself too.
This fact sheet provides information for parents and caregivers about how children of varying age groups experience grief after the death of someone close to them.
