Companioning Children Through Loss: Developmentally Appropriate Support Before, During, and After Death
Guest Presenter: Sarah Farris, MS, CCLS
About the Workshop:
Children experience grief differently from adults, and their understanding of illness, dying, and death evolves with age and development. This focused and practical presentation explores how to thoughtfully include and support children when someone they love is dying – before death occurs, at the bedside, and through the grieving process. Grounded in developmental theory and trauma-informed practice, this presentation examines how children conceptualize death at various developmental stages and offers concrete, age-appropriate language and strategies for honest communication.
