Why Therapy Matters
Therapy offers children a safe space to express their emotions, understand their feelings, and develop coping mechanisms. When a child looses one or both parents, the emotional and psychological impact can be profound. Age plays a significant role in how children process grief.
Infants
Infants might not understand death, but they feel the absence.
Preschoolers
At this age, children may see death as reversible.
School-Age
Children begin to understand the finality of death but might personify it as a villain.
Teenagers
Teens might experience grief similarly to adults but might be less expressive about it.
