Click here  Death and grief are natural parts of the human experience, but mourning a loss is also an incredibly complex process.And when kids lose a loved one, how do we as parents explain the concept of death in a way that they’ll understand? I often think of that great scene in “This Is Us,” when Kevin tells Randall’s daughters about the painting and life, and that’s a wonderful way to put it in the abstract but what about the immediate reaction of having to explain death — and the allowance of grief — to kids.Caroline Bologna did an excellent job reaching out to child mental health experts to help inform what to say, and what not to say, when explaining a loss.I hope it’s helpful, and I hope you don’t have to use it often.
