The death of a family member, friend, or other person can be a lifelong experience for children. It is normal for children to miss the person who died and to experience grief that may come and go with different levels of intensity. There is no timeline for grief and grief experiences are unique to every individual. It can be challenging for caregivers and support people to know what to do, what to say, or how best to help a child who is grieving.

This resource provides some suggestions, based on research and practice among childhood bereavement professionals, about how to be helpful to a child who is grieving a death. It is important to note grief reactions in children are varied, wide-ranging, and individual to each child. We encourage you to use this resource as a guide while you provide understanding and support to a child who is grieving.

Knowledge is Power. Many resources are available via the internet and in the form of grief support for your child. You can find additional resources and support programs near you at nacg.org/resources-and-support.

The key thing to remember is that we know children who are grieving do better when they have strong, supportive relationships with the adults in their lives. We must continue to show up in meaningful ways and listen to the expressed needs of the child who is grieving.
If you are concerned about when to seek additional support, please visit nacg.org/additional-support for more information and connection to additional resources.

Many of us are facing challenges that can be stressful and overwhelming. Learning to cope with stress in a healthy way will help you, the people you care about, and those around you become more resilient.

Stress can cause the following:

Feelings of fear, anger, sadness, worry, numbness, or frustration.

Changes in appetite, energy, desires, and interests.

Trouble concentrating and making decisions.

Nightmares or problems sleeping.

Physical reactions, such as headaches, body pains, stomach problems, or skin rashes.

Worsening of chronic health problems and mental health conditions.

Increased use of alcohol, illegal drugs (like heroin, cocaine, or methamphetamine), and misuse of prescription drugs (like opioids).

Here are some ways you can manage stress, anxiety, grief, or worry:

Take breaks from news stories, including those on social media. It's good to be informed, but constant information about negative events can be upsetting. Consider limiting news to just a couple times a day and disconnecting from phone, TV, and computer screens for a while.

Take care of your body: Staying physically healthy can improve your emotional well-being. Here are some ways to improve your health:

Eat healthy. Have fruits and vegetables, lean protein, whole grains, and low-fat or no-fat dairy. Limit foods with unhealthy fats, salt, and added sugars. See Healthy Eating Tips.

Get enough sleep. Go to bed and wake up at the same time each day to help you sleep better. Adults need 7 or more hours per night.

Move more and sit less. Every little bit of physical activity helps. Start small and build up to 2 ½ hours a week. You can break it into smaller amounts such as 20 to 30 minutes a day.

Limit alcohol intake. Choose not to drink, or drink in moderation on days you drink alcohol. Moderation means having 2 drinks or less a day for men or 1 drink or less for women. Find out more at Drink Less, Be Your Best.

Avoid using illegal drugs or prescription drugs in ways other than prescribed. Don't take someone else's prescription. Substance use treatment is available, and recovery starts with asking for help.

Avoid smoking, vaping, and the use of other tobacco products. People can and do quit smoking for good.

Continue with regular health appointments, tests, screenings, and vaccinations.

Make time to unwind.

Take deep breaths, stretch, or meditate.

Try to do some other activities you enjoy.

Connect with others.

Talk with people you trust about your concerns and how you are feeling.

Connect with your community-based or faith-based organizations.
