45. Strategies for Talking about Tragedy and Death

The death of a loved one, a tragedy in the world, someone we love
getting diagnosed with a terminal illness, none of these our easy

reality.


Part of what makes it difficult to discuss a tragic situation or
event with our children might be because there are often so many
unknowns and we ourselves are experiencing our own emotions.

world, you have to decide whether it is important and appropriate
for your child.


Help them understand that there is not a right or wrong way to
feel when someone dies.
