Helping children navigate grief during the holidays
The holidays are a magical time of year for many children but for those who have lost a parent, sibling, or another loved one, the holidays can be an especially difficult time to navigate. If you’re wondering how to support a bereaved child over the holidays, consider the following.
In addition to talking to the child about their feelings, discuss their expectations for the upcoming holidays without their loved one present. For some children keeping certain traditions may be a source of comfort while for others it may cause pain; where possible, give the child some choice in these matters. Talk to them about how this holiday season might look different and plan to still attend holiday functions with close family and friends.
