Oh what terrible pain it is when you lose someone you love. This song is not meant to be disrespectful. It is meant to demonstrate how disrespectful society can be to children who are grieving the loss of a loved one. Christmas, according to our stories, is supposed to be a magical time of the year. The true story of Christmas is that many children are grieving the loss of loved ones during this season, causing Christmas morning to turn into Christmas mourning.
Parents can unwittingly pass on their anxieties and fears to their children.
Even the best actors will give themselves away. Children are tuned into adult's nonverbal signals. Trying to hide painful feelings or awkward emotions will only increase children's anxieties. Instead of hiding your emotions, learn about the stages of grief by reading books on the subject, attending support groups for families of loss, or working with a qualified family therapist. The better you care for yourself, the better you can care for your child.
