Thursday Is Children’s Grief Awareness Day

Today is Children’s Grief Awareness Day.
Grief and Bereavement Resource Nurse Lisa Wing says people are afraid to speak to kids for fear of making it worse.
Wing says the truth is, speaking about grief with a child can help normalize it and there is a difference between grieving and mourning.
She notes it’s important to remember children at different ages grieve differently.
Wing says children don’t get over grief but learn to live, grow and experience joy again.
