Grief Does Not End Quickly And Kids Need Us To Stay

Send us Fan MailGrief can make even confident parents feel helpless, because there isn’t a “right” thing to say that fixes what happened. We talk about how kids experience grief and loss, and why our first job is not solving the pain but staying connected through it. Along the way, we share personal stories that remind us grief is real whether it’s death, distance in relationships, miscarriage, a major life change, or even the losses adults are tempted to call “small.” We get practical about what helps children grieve in a healthy way: validating emotions without judgment, resisting the urge to rush a timeline, and understanding that a child’s grief can resurface months or years later as their brain develops and their meaning-making grows. We also talk about why adults often minimize grief to ease our own discomfort, and how that can shut down emotional growth and create long-term patterns kids carry into adulthood. Contact:[email protected] To Donate: https://secure.calfarley.org/site/Donation2?3358.donation=form1&df_id=3358&mfc_pref=TTo Apply:https://apply.workable.com/cal-farleys-boys-ranch/j/25E1226091/For More Information about Cal Farley's Boys Ranch:https://www.calfarley.org/Music:"Shine" -NewsboysCCS License No. 9402
