How Children Grieve

This article is a great source for validating so many of the feelings that are going through us as we grieve. Written by adults, this article begins by talking about how different aged children perceive death and consequently how they grieve. The end of this article describes many, but not all, of the feelings that we feel as grieving children from the very beginning and as we continue to move on. Fear, guilt, anger, and sorrow are discussed. We really like that this site shows adults understanding that kids deal with grief differently and it also mentions and talks about some of the feelings that we all have. http://www.kidsaid.com/dougypage.html
