Tip 5: Give the child opportunities to talk to others about it if necessary

Jasper has just turned 11 years. His first anniversary without his twin sister. She was sick and he wasn't. Jasper always found this very complicated, especially when his sister died. There was little or hardly talked about in the family. Complicated for Jasper, he wants to know exactly what happened right now. He feels very guilty towards his parents.
Often he sits at the table with dinner and then suddenly yells that it's not fair that he's still alive and his twin sister is no longer there. His parents actually don't even go into this. Mother mostly bursts into tears and father completely ignores the situation. Jasper wants answers.
Mother and father know this somewhere, but the situation is also very difficult for them. In Jasper, they also continuously see their lost daughter. They also experience double feelings, a feeling of sadness because they have had to say goodbye to a dear property and at the same time a sense of distance to Jasper now because they simply don't know how to deal with the situation.
In these situations, as parents, it is good to give your child the space that they can and should talk to someone else about it. After a loss situation, it can happen that the world suddenly becomes smaller in which you find yourself. People don't always know how to react. As a parent, you can't always go anywhere with your story, it's complicated when you have children who want to come and tell you their story while you yourself are having many emotions that can't go way.
Get help from family, friends or help at school or shelter from someone with whom your child can do their story safely. And of course also take care of yourself for such a person.
