In my research I will draw upon a few books as my resources. In this analysis I will attempt to define what the meaning of grief is, how it has been processed, who cares, and what the consequences of the meanings are and to whom. The people who play the most significant role in the process of understanding grief among children are their parents. Children learn from their parents how to react to death and what it is. The definition of grief is determined by how the parents deal with it themselves.
Most parents often fear talking to their children about death and grief.
Some believe that children will not understand. Parents often become anxious when kids bring up death. All of this avoidance and secrecy can lead to confusion about death and grieving for children. Children begin to assume that grown ups do not like to talk about death. Children are very perceptive to changes that occur in the daily routines of life.
