Grief is the experience of coping with loss. Most of us think of grief as happening in the painful period following the death of a loved one. But grief can accompany any event that disrupts or challenges our sense of normalcy or ourselves. This includes the loss of connections that define us.
Mourning describes how we express grief outwardly. You may mourn a loved one by sharing stories about them, planting their favorite flower in your garden or spreading their ashes in their favorite vacation spot. Funerals and celebration of life ceremonies exist so people who are grieving can mourn in the company of others who care.

The 2017 Legislative Session passed Senate Bill 355, establishing The Grief Support Trust Account in the State's General Fund for the purpose of supporting nonprofit community organizations that provide grief support services to children, parents and adult caregivers.
Requirements for fund distribution are very specific; only registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations that have been established for at least three years and that have been providing age-appropriate peer support groups for children ages 3-18 for at least two years, specifically from September to May each calendar year on a biweekly basis, are eligible. The organizations must be members of the National Alliance for Grieving Children and provide grief support services free of charge.
Introduces learners to grief and loss reactions in children, parents, and siblings, and offers strategies to help them deal with their intense emotions. In this context, learners are also introduced to ways to approach discussions about religious or spiritual beliefs and values that may shape how families seek and use healthcare throughout life, including at the end of life. This section ends with a discussion of ethical issues in end-of-life decision making and strategies for talking with families about goals of care.
Shifts focus from the patient and family to the pediatric health care provider. This section addresses the provider's experience of grief and loss when faced with stressful situations. The section presents adaptive behaviors for facing grief and uncertainty, reaching closure, and coping with a patient's death. A section is included on teaching more clinically advanced learners to lead a debriefing session after a patient's death or a medical error. In addition to didactic discussions and slides, case examples are provided to facilitate practice and reflection.
The Consortium for Trauma, Illness & Grief in Schools (TIG) is a county-wide, multi-agency effort to prepare school districts to have appropriate mental health support in place during incidents of trauma, violence, illness and death that impact the school. TIG provides education, training opportunities and support to assist schools to effectively respond to the needs of children, parents, teachers, and other school personnel in times of crisis. The TIG website, has more detailed information as well as resources on grief, loss and trauma.
Another activity that Monroe County Office of Mental Health has undertaken to support our local school districts is analysis of the Youth Risk Behavior Survey. To increase our efficacy in managing childhood adversity and trauma, our office has developed a cross-system partnership including local school districts, county government and community-based organizations to assess local Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) data, resiliency factors and risk behaviors in youth. A summary of the results from the 2019 YRBS survey and suggestions on how everyone can help support our youth in overcoming the negative effects of ACEs is available below:
Whether the loss is a grandparent, a parent, a classmate or even a beloved family pet, the grieving process can be difficult and every child will grieve in his own way. Parents, caregivers and educators wondering how they can help will find many answers to their questions in the following guide, which has been assembled with advice from several experts in the area of child and adolescent grief. You will find tips broken down into a range of ages and experiences, and information about what to say, who should say it, what to look out for and how to help.
We all cope with death and grief differently. If you have several children, you may find that they express how they are feeling in surprisingly divergent ways. This can come down to personality as well as developmental age.
It is very unexpected when children die, whether by accident or due to illness. In young children such a loss often brings up questions from the surviving child of whether he is also in danger. Parents who suffer the loss of a child are likely to be inconsolable themselves, but it is important to reassure your children that they are safe and you will be there for them. Let them ask questions and know that they may go in and out of grief for many months while you as the parent are more likely to feel it continuously. Do not hesitate to bring in additional adult caregivers, such as a grandparent, aunt or friend for support.
Grieving is a natural process and it takes time. But symptoms that persist beyond six months or are very impairing can indicate that your child may need professional help to overcome her grief. Some signs your child may need professional help include:
While your first impulse may be to protect and comfort your children, it is crucial that you seek help for your own grief. If you are parenting or supporting a grieving child, one of the best ways to help is to ensure that you are taking care of yourself, too.
Stillbirth can be a devastating life event for women and their partners. Although it has been shown to cause prolonged grief that is comparable to any death of a child, the grief that results after a stillbirth or neonatal death has been described as complex and unique [6] at least in part because of a lack of acceptance or legitimisation of the grieving process by society. Moreover, as the majority women conceive within a year of the loss [7], negative psychological effects of the loss may continue into subsequent pregnancies, despite the birth of a healthy child [8].
Disenfranchised grief; parental grief following stillbirth may not legitimised by health professionals, family and society. Parents felt isolated, noting their identity as parents was not recognised by society; they were a parent, but without a child. Fathers especially reported that they felt marginalised and unacknowledged as a grieving parent. Parents recounted experiences suggesting that relationships with others had changed irrevocably. Many parents found if hurtful when their baby was referred to as less than a person, as something replaceable and not to be remembered as part of their family. Many parents indicated that mourning the death of a newborn was taboo and not culturally acceptable.
Some parents reported feeling torn between managing their own grief and parenting siblings, whilst others found comfort at the time of grief from existing siblings. Support from relatives, could mean that siblings were also sometimes physically separated from their parents. This could lead to them being temporarily distanced emotionally from their parents during the grief process.
Some parents felt the need to suppress outward grief, including during subsequent pregnancy. For fathers, especially (Fig. 5) those who perceived their social role as needing to provide emotional support for their partner and family, the burden of keeping feelings to themselves may lead to grief suppression, potentially increasing the risk of chronic psychological issues. Many mothers, most notably in LMICs, also often dealt with their grief privately and alone. Suppression of grief for both parents was reported to lead to relationship difficulties within the couple and also the wider family unit.
Grief, and sometimes depressive symptoms, are a common experience following the death of a child, and should be viewed as normal. However, these experiences may persist for many years or be of such magnitude they prevent normal functioning. Critically, disenfranchised grief, which was prevalent across all countries, was a considerable issue reflected in this review, and a significant source of distress for parents after stillbirth. There was an overwhelming perception that parents and their families felt lonely and abandoned, even by their close relatives. This provides further evidence for the development of interventional programmes which focus on raising understanding and awareness of stillbirth and to address the significant issue of disenfranchised grief, fuelled by underlying stigmatisation of stillbirth.
Overall this review has described the wide-ranging impact of stillbirth. Findings included a few but important positive effects on relationships and a different outlook and approach to life. Findings only reported by mothers included complex responses to their body image after stillbirth, whereas fathers reported the majority of findings related to grief suppression and substance use. The complexity of the findings demonstrates the need for an improvement programme in bereavement care which includes emotional, psychological and financial support for both parents, and for the wider family, and which continues into the subsequent pregnancy. More research is needed to evaluate existing programmes and to focus on the development of new ones. Multiple types of interventions will probably be required in support programmes to meet the multi-factoral issues highlighted and to ensure they can be tailored to individual needs and support the development of any personal growth. Lastly, any improvements to bereavement care will need to be culturally and religiously sensitive and framed around individual cultural beliefs as well as the resource issues in specific country settings. 59ce067264
