Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Most children closely watch their parents' response to grief and loss, and use fantasy to fill the gaps in their understanding. In many cases, family members take turns grieving, with children sensing that their parents are so overwhelmed by their own emotional pain that they cannot bear the children's grief. They also see adults taking turns being strong for each other. The grieving process differs somewhat between children and adults. Children's responses to loss reflect their developmental level.
