It is crucial that we talk to them and keep them talking in return to get the emotions out there.

But all of this still needs to be reinforced in the home- without that it sometimes feels like you are fighting a losing battle. And who is to say that they are not doing that already?

We need teachers, ministers, and community leaders to huddle around our kids and protect them from the hurt way better than what we are currently doing.

There need to be more services to help children deal with the frief that they may experience in their lives and perhaps they will remain better equipped for their adult lives.

They so often do not understand the healthiest ways to deal with these losses and it is crucial for their future health that we teach them the many steps of the grieving process and the best ways to cope with the sadness that they inevitably and understandably feel.

As the stepmom of middle school kids it is so important to recognize from a very early age when things are not going well and it sounds like your site may provide answers to that. Thanks for the resource and I will give you some feedback on that very soon. I am definitely going to take a look at your site.

One of my 4 children is adopted and we regularly deal with all aspects of her loss in any way that is suitable to her. I am a movement therapist and so am adept at helping her express herself in physical movement and releasing some of her pent-up emotions, and then we talk about it afterwards...until the next time, and the next. We are soon to foster a child from Sudan, from the Darfur region, and I am intrigued as to how his issues of loss will come up. We have been greatly helped by consulting with many parenting experts on how parents can improve communication at home and would like to share our resources.

It is up to us as adults to give them the love that they need and to support them no matter what the cost.
