Grief Hit the Loon Family Dr Thomas Lenell Francis

Every child grieves differently. There are no right or wrong way to grieve. Children learn by asking questions. When children ask questions about death, it's usually because they are curious and they want to understand. When someone close to them die, small as they are, they experience grief. Grief can produce feelings such as shock, denial, anger, sadness, worry, relief, fear, or numbness or nothing. Grief may even be thoughts, such as "Who will take care of me now that my mom has died? "Why do people get sick and die, Is this my fault? Life may not feel normal anymore. Remember your feelings are real. Dr. Francis provides a story depicting real feelings from children experiencing grief and questions.
