Grief Counseling
Professional counseling can help children and families find healthy ways to cope with grief. During times of emotional turmoil and stress, Hope’s bereavement counselors are ready offer support and guidance.
How is a child’s grief different?
- Younger children don’t always fully understand death - that it’s truly final.
- Older children may struggle to express how they feel.
- Children may grieve in short bursts. They might go off and play, only to come back to difficult feelings later.
- Children may hide their feelings of loss to “fit in” with peers.
