Grief and Loss: How to help your child

Grieving children often show their emotions in different forms — some may talk openly, while others might become quiet or withdrawn. It’s essential to recognise that each child processes loss in their own way and at their own pace imp, and is important to remember that there’s no right or wrong way to grieve.

In this short video, young people who experienced the death share their personal stories. They reflect on the reactions from their communities and schools and emphasise the need for understanding as grief affects each person in unique ways.
