Children going through a grieving process typically can benefit from the following tips:
* Be open and honest to the child regarding questions and concerns the child has but follow the child´s lead. Do not give too much information or insight into issues the child has not asked about.
* Continue with typical family routine and rituals. Rituals and routines help the child feel safe.
* Be consistent. This allows the child the freedom of not having to worry about what comes next.
* Allow the child to see your emotions (it is okay, and healthy, for them to see your sadness).
