   Losing someone we love and feel close to, or going through a bereavement, can be extremely painful. Grief is our natural response to this loss. It is a process rather than an event. Your child or young person, as well as you and other family members, may be grieving because: someone in the family has died, like a parent, grandparent or sibling.

   • Talk to your child. Children and young people may feel the loss more strongly and might worry about your physical wellbeing. It is not uncommon for children to become confused about death once they’ve experienced loss for the first time.
   • Keep them moving and get fresh air. Try to ensure your child gets outside regularly. Spending time in the fresh air of a garden or park, or by taking a walk can be a mood booster.
   • Remember your loved one. Grieving can be difficult but talking about and remembering a loved one can help you cope. Some psychologists have moved away from the idea of ‘letting go’ of the deceased, and there is now a recognition of the importance of what is called ‘continuing bonds’.
   • Stay connected to other people. Ensuring that grief doesn’t isolate us is important. Even though you might just want to curl up under a duvet and ignore the world try to ensure your child, and you, stay connected to other people.

But children are likely to notice that something’s wrong and feel anxious and confused if things are not spoken about.

   How do children learn how to grieve?

   • They learn how to grieve by copying the responses of the adults around them and rely on them to support them in their grief. How a child or young person responds to someone dying will be influenced by their age and understanding, the relationship they had with the person who died, and how the person died.
