This one is worth a repeat because the need never dies, the myths linger, and the truths about grief are for us all

All so true. And thank you for sharing. Children's grief often goes unnoticed. As someone whose mother died when I was 11 I write regularly on the theme of childhood grief (on my blog) because it's not discussed enough. Thank you for helping to raise awareness and for offering these excellent insights.

Thank you as well. I learned so much when caring for my sister’s child who was only 3/ 1/2 when her mother died. Then after my book came out my daughter-in-law died when her two girls were only 6 and 11. So it has been a big part of my life’s work to keep educating about childhood grief. Thanks for responding❤️

I'm so sorry. That is a lot of sadness and pain. Those children are fortunate to have you in their lives.
