   • Kids grieve differently. After losing a loved one, a child may go from crying one minute to playing the next. Their changeable moods do not mean that they aren’t sad or that they’ve finished grieving; children cope differently than adults, and playing can be a defense mechanism to prevent a child from becoming overwhelmed.
   • Encourage a grieving child to express feelings. It’s good for kids to express whatever emotions they are feeling. There are many good children’s books about death, and reading these books together can be a great way to start a conversation with your child.
   • Be developmentally appropriate. It is hard to know how a child will react to death or even if they can grasp the concept. Don’t volunteer too much information, as this may be overwhelming.
   • Be direct. When discussing death, never use euphemisms. Kids are extremely literal, and hearing that a loved one “went to sleep” can be scary. Besides making your child afraid of bedtime, euphemisms interfere with their opportunity to develop healthy coping skills that they will need in the future.
