Death is part of the natural cycle of life. Giving children the opportunity to develop and strengthen coping skills around death, dying and loss before experiencing a close personal loss empowers children to cope with future losses. We will provide the tools of language and strategies from a developmental perspective to help children to understand the feelings of grief, and how to commemorate and remember as we go on. Children need to understand that there is nothing too sad or too terrible to talk about with a trusted adult. There will be an opportunity to ask questions in this interactive presentation.
