Let’s Understand Grief

Dealing with Grief

While everyone grieves differently, there are some behaviours and emotions commonly expressed by children depending on their developmental level. Read through each of the age ranges, as there are times when a six year old asks a complex, big picture question and those when a youth is struggling to find a physical outlet for their grief. We hope this information will help with understanding how grief affects children and youth across the developmental span.
