An estimated 1 out of 14 children in the United States will experience the death of a parent or sibling before they reach the age of 18. \u00a0The COVID-19 pandemic has only increased the number of child grievers; an estimated 40,000 children had lost a parent to COVID-19 as of April 2021.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Children do not \u201cforget\u201d or \u201cget over\u201d the death of someone important. Grief is a lifelong process of learning to cope with feelings and find healing. As a parent or a caregiver, it\u2019s important to remember that grief cannot be \u201cresolved\u201d or \u201cfixed\u201d.
