During the month of November, recognized National Grieving Children Awareness Month. But grief is not automatically temporary for kids.
The loss of a parent or other loved ones can have long-term effect on children if they don't get the attention they need during the grieving process.
I talk about my experience when I lost my grandfather. He raised me from the time I was 9 MONTHS old. He was the only parent I knew.
When he died when I was around twelve years old, my world fell apart. No one was there to help me pick up the pieces. I struggled with grief for almost two decades before I came to terms with his death.
When someone your child knows or loves dies, pay some extra attention to them.
