Think you know grief?

Here's the truth:
Grief isn't a weakness.It's not a sign of failure.
It's the mind and body's natural response to loss

Loss happens to everyone
A child loses a pet. Parents separate.
A loved one passes away. A dream doesn't come true.
To the heart, there's no such thing as "small loss."

But here's the problem:
Instead of letting kids (or even adults) feel grief, we often silence them.
• "Don't cry. " "Be strong." "It's not that bad."
This doesn't teach resilience. It teaches shame

So what actually helps?
Listening without judgment.Acknowledging their feelings.
Saying: "This really hurts, doesn't it? You wish things were different."

Validation doesn't remove the pain—
It makes it bearable. When grief is validated,
something powerful happens.

The child learns emotions are survivable.
They realize pain doesn't mean they're broken.
They build true emotional strength-
not by "toughing it out," but by moving through it.

Grief isn't about "getting over it."
It's about learning to live with loss— and discovering that healing happens when we're not alone in it.
