For bereaved children and families, this time of year can be extremely difficult. The holiday season may trigger certain feelings, including sadness or anger, related to a family member's death. It is imperative to help children through these tough times by discussing with your child the following:
-They can talk about the deceased person
-Any feeling they have is okay
Other ideas that might help your child process their emotions include:
-Discuss how this person made the holiday time special
-Make the person's favorite food
-Look at photo's of the person or make a scrapbook
-Create a memory box.
