Welcome to our fifth gathering that we held for Grief Reflections. Above is the conversation that we had discussing the topic of HELPING CHILDREN THROUGH GRIEF.
All people affected by loss are grieving.
In this episode of Grief Reflections we discuss how we as parents can support our children through the grieving process, wether it is the loss of their sibling or the loss of someone else.
In this video, Carly spoke about how to explain cremation/burial to other children. Here is the link she mentioned: http://stillstandingmag.com/2013/08/healing-cremation-vs-burial/
Carly also has a page called ‘Siblings and Grief’ where she lists some books: http://carlymarieprojectheal.com/healing/siblings-and-grieving
Nathalie suggested a book called Raising An Emotionally Intelligent Child: The Heart of Parenting by John Gottman. It is listed here on my bookshelf of Goodreads.
If you would like please add to this conversation: Please feel welcome to blog or write about it and share the link to your posts in the comment section.
Thank you so much for your support in being here. We are looking forward to future gatherings.
With love,
Carly & Nathalie

I would love to hear more about helping siblings dealing with loss. Any other suggestions?
I assume you, as the mother, help your children deal with the loss of their sibling?
My local area is in Fairbanks, AK.

• Fairbanks Crisis Line 907-452-4357

• Adult Diabetes Support Group Fairbanks Memorial Hospital 907-457-1557
