The Stages of Grieving

This page of a website starts off with someone sharing her story (very briefly) about the loss of her parents. The helpful part of this page follows her introduction, and it is her description of the steps that a child goes through while he or she is grieving. This is particularly helpful as it is written from another kid and is easy to relate to. When we read the steps that she discusses, we were all amazed at how closely a lot of them mirrored our own. This excellent resource takes you from the initial “shock” all the way through to “hope”. http://www.geocities.com/losingaparent/losing.html
