November 20 is Children's Grief Awareness Day, an occasion for all of us to recognize children's grief, educate ourselves on how the death of a loved one can affect a child's life, and help ensure that grieving children get their needs met.
In Canada, 1 in 14 children will experience the death of a parent or sibling by the time they turn 18. It can be one of the most harrowing life events that a child goes through, but there are several ways to support them. It's invaluable to provide them with information about grief, normalize their responses, and encourage them to share their thoughts and feelings.
