2 Explore common barriers to supporting grieving children Identify 5 key strategies to support children who are grieving either their own illness or a sibling s illness Share a few favourite children s grief resources
3 The greatest gift you can give your children is not protection from change, loss, pain or stress, but the confidence and tools to cope and grow with all that life has to offer them. Dr. Wendy Harpham
4 Fear of saying wrong thing Fear of taking away hope Uncertainty regarding emotional reactions Concerns about increasing anxiety HCPs: Apprehension about getting on the wrong side of parents protective instincts Cultural backdrop Copyright 2017 Andrea Warnick
5 It is the responsibility of adults, not kids, to start the conversation. Get on the level of the child/youth. Start the conversation by asking what the child/youth understands until this point.
6 I m wondering what you understand about what is happening to your [body] [sister]? I m wondering if you ve heard other people talking about any information that is confusing to you?
7 Language is powerful Call the illness/condition by it s name Ø cancer Ø seizure disorder Ø DMD
8 Copyright 2015 Andrea Warnick
9 Avoid euphemisms for death Ø Lost Ø Gone Ø Passed away/on Ø Expired Ø Sleep Ø With the angels
10 Start with the physical Died means that a body has stopped working and will never work again. The body cannot move, breathe, think, feel, see, smell, talk The body does not feel pain or hunger or fear. Copyright 2017 Andrea Warnick
11
12 DISBELIEF GRIEF is all the different feelings that occur when something really difficult happens in life WHY?? SHOCK Copyright 2017 Andrea Warnick
13 Wondering Nature Mystery
14 Sorry (particularly with young kids) Praising for being strong Language that severs the connection with a person who died Language that leads into the fix-it trap
15 Did I CAUSE it? Can I CATCH it? Could I have CURED it? Who is going to take CARE of me? Copyright 2017 Andrea Warnick
16 Encourage kids to ask questions or share worries, reassuring that all are okay. Make sure to understand the question that is being asked. Validate the question Answer honestly using simple, concrete language. Be honest when you don t have the answer.
17
18
19 To create a safe and secure time to explore questions, worries, memories etc.
20 Grief is a natural response Grief isn t a problem to be solved The goal is not to take away the heart break Once someone dies, the goal is not to get over the person
21 Rituals provide guidance and order when life is disrupted by crisis Many impulses of a basically destructive and antisocial nature, instead of being acted out with social sanctions in a safe a structured sacred context, leak insidiously into our everyday lives and manifest themselves in a number of individual and societal problems. (Grof & Halifax, p. 195)
22 Day of the Dead - Mexico (Dia de los Muertos) Nov 1 & Nov 2 Mizuko Babies - Japan
23 Entwined nature of family grief experience recognized POSR (Partner Oriented Self Regulation): One partner s POSR is associated with an increase in his or her own grief AND an increase in the partner s grief.
24 Intuitive Instrumental (Doka and Martin)
25
26 Tummy aches/head aches Sleep disturbance Irritability Regression Hyperactivity Anger Death play Repetitive asking of questions Loss of confidence/fear Increased need for affection
27 No age rules Children s grief changes as they enter new levels of development In chunks over the short and long term Ø Grief bursts
28 For adults grief is like wading through this enormous river whereas for children it's puddle jumping, but when they're in that puddle it's no different to the river. - Julie Stokes, Winston s Wish
29
30 When modeling grief reassure kids that you are still able to take care of them Let kids know talking about a loved one who is ill or has died does not inflict sadness Emphasize: Kids don t need to fix your grief
31
32 Do not try to fix their pain bear witness to it. Model healthy grief. Don t preach it. Be aware of the struggle for independence during a time of increased vulnerability. Offer opportunities to connect with other teenagers in a similar situation.
33 Self-harming/suicidal thoughts or behaviours Chronic physical symptoms without obvious cause Persistent denial of death No signs of grief On-going sleep/eating disturbances Prolonged changes in typical behavior On-going concerns about the 4C s Risk-taking behaviors Lack of interest in previously enjoyed activities
34 Open the conversation Be honest Foster an environment where children can ask questions Use simple but correct language Be prepared to not have the answer (wonder with them)
