DO CHILDREN GRIEVE?

No matter what age the child is, he or she will feel grief when a loved one dies.  Infants can feel tension from their parents who are grieving.  Toddlers who want to go outside and play are still grieving.  Just remember this:  "If a child is old enough to love, he or she is old enough to grieve."  Alan Wolfelt

About Me

Dallas, TX, United States
I am an educator and consultant, in the field of loss and grief. I love educating others, as well as learning from them, about life's little and big, happy and sad losses: marriage, divorce, moving away, losing one's health, aging gracefully.....or not......death of a loved one, a pet, a dream, children growing up and parents having to let go, etc. etc. Hopefully, you get the picture. Let's laugh, cry and learn together!
