Why Therapy Matters

Therapy offers children a safe space to express their emotions, understand their feelings, and develop coping mechanisms. When a child looses one or both parents, the emotional and psychological impact can be profound. Age plays a significant role in how children process grief.

Infants

Infants might not understand death, but they feel the absence.

Preschoolers

At this age, children may see death as reversible.

School-Age

Children begin to understand the finality of death but might personify it as a villain.

Teenagers

Teens might experience grief similarly to adults but might be less expressive about it.
