Episode Description
Grief is a universal experience for everyone, including children. There are many life experiences that can produce the feelings of grief in a child. The death of a relative or a divorce in the family are the obvious ones. But what about the everyday life experiences such as moving to a new neighborhood, a close friend moving away, or losing a prized possession. Watching a child grieve and not knowing what to do can be an intensely difficult experience for parents, teachers and caregivers. When Children Grieve will support you in learning how to help children develop a lifelong healthy response to loss.

Grief is a universal experience. It is the normal and natural response to significant loss of any kind. Unfortunately most of what we’ve learned about grief is not normal, natural, healthy or helpful.
There are close to 50 losses that can produce the wide range of emotions we call grief. The list includes death, divorce, moving, loss of career, finances, health, trust, safety, relationships, loss of love and compassion, plus many more.
We all experience loss in our life. When we do people tell us to let go and move on. Not knowing how to let go can result in us hastily moving on but becoming emotionally stuck. This feeling can be the result of unresolved grief and can become a real road block in life. It may prevent us from realizing personal and professional success, health, vitality, and joy.
