Grief is something our children, unfortunately, have to deal with in their life, whether it be the death of a pet, family member, or friend, or even the loss of seeing someone that was important part of their life for various reasons. It is important to remember that EVERY person and child grieves differently, and at his or her own pace. Below are some handouts and websites on grief that you might find helpful.
