Source

Given their limited experience with loss, your children may be surprised or embarrassed by the intensity of their grief when a death happens, and they may try to hide it or disguise it. Your best approach is to watch and listen – to tune into your children, to be there for them, and if you’re unsure what’s going on with them, to ask! What else can you do to help them?
 
• Offer physical closeness, comfort and reassurance.

• Look through photograph albums together.

• Talk about special memories and their relationship with the deceased.

• Read some of the wonderful and readily available children’s books on grief.
