Has your son experienced the death of a pet? What about the loss of a friend or a grandparent?Death is a hard concept for young kids to understand. But even for children who are older, emotions can quickly spiral out of control. And without proper perspective of what this loss means and how to deal with grief, death’s grip can drag kids into anger, despair, and loneliness.When death steals a loved one away, take time to answer your son’s questions. Remind him that even Jesus cried when his friend Lazarus died. But God promises to provide comfort and help. Psalm 34:18 says, “The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart.”Even though loss is inevitable, use grief as an opportunity for growth.
