When children and teens experience significant loss, the associated grief can affect all aspects of their lives. The death of a family member, peer, or community member can cause a wide range of reactions in children and youth. Moving to a new community, the loss or death of pet, parents' divorce, and friendship changes can all bring up grief emotions such as sadness, anger, confusion, and worry.
