Understanding Trauma & Grief in Children
In the aftermath of a traumatic event, especially one involving fear, uncertainty, or loss, children and teens may experience emotional, physical, and behavioral changes.
Common signs of trauma or grief in children include:
Nightmares or sleep disturbances
Separation anxiety or clinginess
Emotional outbursts or withdrawal
Regressive behaviors (bedwetting, thumb-sucking)
Somatic complaints (headaches, stomachaches)
Our clinicians are trained to recognize, validate, and gently treat trauma responses in children, teens, and adults.
Books to Help Children Understand Grief & Loss
Reading with your child is a powerful way to create safety, name emotions, and begin healing together. Here are some therapist-recommended books to support grieving children:
The Invisible String by Patrice Karst
When Dinosaurs Die by Laurie Krasny Brown
Ida, Always by Caron Levis
The Memory Box by Joanna Rowland
Tear Soup by Pat Schwiebert & Chuck DeKlyen
These books gently address themes of death, separation, and remembrance in ways that are developmentally appropriate and comforting.
