Helpful Grief Resources for Families and Individuals

Snappy Words

Losing someone close or going through a major life change—such as moving to a new home or experiencing a parental separation—can completely disrupt a child’s sense of security, leaving them with deep feelings of grief and confusion. Because children process loss in ways that differ from adults, the type of care and guidance they need should be tailored to their age, maturity, and ability to understand what has happened. Their emotions may surface in waves, sometimes expressed through behavior rather than words, and may even reappear as they grow and reach new stages of development. Providing consistent, compassionate support helps them feel safe as they navigate these difficult changes and begin to heal.
