You know if you are grieving, you know grieving is hard. So how do you help a child grieve?
When we experience a loss we need relational, psychological, and spiritual anchors to hold us steady. One anchor for children is the consistent presence of people they trust to help them deal with the loss. They also need spiritual perspective on things like how a good God could allow bad things to happen even though he loves us. As a parent in a blended family or a stepparent make sure the kids have these anchors because grieving the past has everything to do with accepting you in the present.
