Today is Children’s Grief Awareness Day. Just like adults, children need the opportunity to grieve and discuss their feelings when a loved one dies. Grief experts also recommend the following:

- Use simple, direct language. Explain what happened using words they can understand. Avoid confusing euphemisms like "passed away" or "went to sleep".

- Encourage expression. Create opportunities for them to express themselves through drawing, playing, or storytelling. It's also important to listen without judgment.

- Be honest about your own feelings. Show your own grief in a controlled way to let them know it is okay to feel sad or upset.

- Maintain routines. Provide a sense of security by keeping daily routines as consistent as possible.

- Offer reassurance. Provide extra comfort and reassurance. Let them know it's okay to ask for help and that things will get better over time.

- Seek professional help if needed. If a child's distress lasts for more than a few weeks, or if the loss was sudden or violent, consider seeking professional help from a licensed therapist or counselor.

Can gratitude make you happier?

The holiday season oftentimes comes packaged with high expectations.

Research suggests that one aspect of the Thanksgiving season can actually lift the spirits, and it's built right into the holiday - being grateful.

New research shows that gratitude is consistently associated with greater happiness. Gratitude helps people feel positive emotions, relish good experiences, improve their health, deal with adversity, and build strong relationships.

Here are a few suggestions to cultivate gratitude on a regular basis:

- Write a thank-you note or email expressing your enjoyment and appreciation of the person's impact on your life. Send it, or better yet, deliver it and read it with the person. Make a habit of sending at least one gratitude letter a month. And once in a while, write one to yourself.

- No time to write? Think about someone who has done something nice for you, and mentally thank the individual.

- Keep a gratitude journal. Make it a habit to write down the thoughts you have about the gifts you've received each day.

- Count your blessings. Pick a time every week to sit down and write about your blessings - taking the time to reflect on what went right or what you are grateful for. Sometimes it helps to pick a number, such as three to five things, that you will identify each week.

- Pray. People who are religious can use prayer to cultivate gratitude by saying thank you for their blessings.

- Meditate. Mindfulness meditation involves focusing on the present moment without judgment. Although people often focus on a word or phrase (such as "peace"), it is also possible to focus on what you're grateful for (the warmth of the sun, a pleasant sound, etc.).

“Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.”
