Experiencing loss can be particularly challenging for children. They may struggle to comprehend and manage their emotions, and since they don’t have the same coping mechanisms as adults, it's crucial to offer them empathy, affection, and assistance. 

In this episode, I will guide you in establishing a secure environment where your children can openly express their feelings and patiently process their grief. Together, we will explore practical ways to manage emotions and cope with the pain of loss.
