Late School, 9 to 12 years


Concept of Death

Children this age understand that death is final and irreversible. They are very curious about the details of death and may ask many questions or they may avoid conversations about the death, their emotions and the deceased.

Grief Response

Grieving children this age also may have periods of sadness interspersed with “normal” play periods, nightmares and other sleep disturbances, feelings of guilt and an overwhelming concern with their own body. Late school-aged children may also try to take on characteristics or the role of the deceased. They may also display aggressive behavior, engage in limit testing and disobedience, show anger towards the deceased, withdraw from friends or have a desire to join the deceased (suicidal thoughts). Grades may suffer during the period of grief.

What you can do

Be honest about the death and answer all questions honestly. Make yourself available to listen. Help children understand that a wide range of emotions is acceptable and encourage expression of these feelings. Allow children some time alone to process.

Let us help you find your perfect doctor.
