Few events in a child's life can affect them as greatly as the death of a loved one.
This profound video resource offers helpful information to adults (parents, caregivers, professionals) on how to help children of all ages grieve with hope and heart. You will meet two experts: Khris Ford and Paula D'Arcy, whose personal experiences with death give them intimate knowledge and compassion. And you will meet others who are now in the process of helping their children through grief.
Topics covered include: - Differences between how adults and children grieve. - How a parent can grieve and still help a child to grieve. - Three common feelings expressed by all grieving children. - How to be authentic and tell children the truth about death.
