For Adults to Help Children Deal with Death, Divorce, 

Pet Loss, Moving, and Other Losses 

There are many Myths about dealing with sad emotions that confuse children: 

•  Time heals all wounds 
•  Replace the loss 
•  Cry alone 
•  Be strong for others 
•  Bury your feelings 
•  Don’t feel bad, have a cookie, you’ll feel better… 

In this program you will learn how to replace these myths with practical guidance for your children. 

THE 4-WEEK PROGRAM WILL BEGIN

In the meantime: 

•  Listen with your heart, not your head. Allow all emotions to be expressed,  without judgment, criticism, or analysis. 
• Recognize that grief is emotional, not intellectual. Avoid the trap of asking  your child what is wrong, for he or she will automatically say, “Nothing.” 

•  Adults – Go first. Telling the truth about your own grief will make your child  feel safe in opening up about his or her own feelings. 
•  Remember that every child is unique and each has a unique relationship  to the loss event. 
•  Be patient. Don’t force your child to talk. 
• Never Say “Don’t feel sad” or “Don’t feel scared.” Sadness and fear, the two  most common feelings attached to loss of any kind, are essential to being  human.
