How your child behaves and how you respond depends on their age. Don't offer more information than they can understand. Use direct language. Saying a person
went to sleep or even
passed away
can confuse or scare a child.
Keeping as much as possible of your Childs normal schedule will help them feel secure. If you need some time alone, try to find relatives or friends who can help keep your children's life as normal as possible.
After the death of a grandparent, its normal for kids to worry about their own parents. Its helpful to tell them you will probably live for a very long time. After the death of one parent, kids will worry about the other parent and need to be reassured that they are going to be around to take care of them.
If you notice that your child seems unusually upset and unable to cope with grief, see a therapist
