Currently, there is little guidance available for adults who are supporting children who are grieving the dying or death of someone important to them. Through this project, communities, parents, educators, coaches, health providers and others will be better prepared to provide that support. KidsGrieve2 uses accessible interactive learning modules to provide guidance, strategies and practical tips for adults supporting children. Developed by grief experts and families who have “been there”, the modules will include how grief manifests in children; how to talk about dying and death in an age-appropriate manner; how to prepare children for funerals and memorials; how to recognize signs that children need more help. Children will benefit from a healthier, more open approach to end-of-life and death where they are encouraged to ask questions, receive honest answers, and are prepared and well-supported.
