"The myth that 'children are resilient' only serves to keep us further distanced from addressing the child's grief, and he or she is left to figure it out on their own."
Life-altering events like divorce, serious illness, or death can leave a child confused and frightened. The child often losses his or her sense of security during this time, and experiences a wide range of emotions that he or she may not know how to process. It's important to help your child through this process by helping him understand that grieving, and all the emotions that go with it, is normal. It's an important process for your child to go through, and vital to her emotional health on into adulthood.
Specialty boarding schools like Mount Bachelor Academy have programs specifically designed to help children deal with grief and loss. Learn more at www.mtba.com.
