How do children experience grief?

Children experience grief very differently than adults. Adults talk things out, we talk about our feelings. Children can only process grief at the level of development that they're at. So we have to have very different expectations. One of the things that we need to do is we need to talk about our own grief in front of our children so that they begin to understand what these feelings are and how to verbalize them. And also to just know your child is processing it, even if they're not talking about it, they are processing the loss.
