Making a daily checklist will help. As time passes,try to renew old hobbies or even start some new ones. There are also some things that other people can do to help bereaved people cope with their loss. These rules of grief etiquette may be of some help to people who are not sure how to help someone who is suffering from a loss. These rules can also be applied to children.
Children respond to the death of a loved one differently than adults.
Preschool children tend to see death as temporary and reversible. Between the ages of five and nine they begin to respond more like adults. Children are more likely to display their feelings of sadness on and off for a long period of time and unexpectedly. They may show anger towards family members or through play, nightmares, or irritability. A child may begin to revert back to younger behavior.
