The kids are alright....right?
<p>Children's grief is a whole new ball game! In this episode, I am exploring how children grieve by sharing the experience I have had of my children's grief and response to losing mum.</p> <p>It has been a challenge to understand and accept the way my boys have grieved. Sometimes I have been really surprised and taken a back by the things they have said, the questions they have asked and the way that they have behaved in these first few months. </p> <p>I have asked myself many times, whether they understand death? Do they know that Nana isn't coming back? Why are they grieving in this way? Do I need to encourage them to grieve even more?</p> <p><br></p> <p>Is this something else I have to try and get right?</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p>
