Counselor's Corner: Helping children cope with death

It is okay to let them see you cry, talk to friends to find comfort, and remembering the happy times you had with the loved one you have lost. When we pretend that everything is just the same, it is confusing for the child. However, routine is essential for a child when a tragic event occurs.
