Using qualitative analytic methods, this book identifies five developmentally derived age groups that clarify important differences in children’s grief and mourning processes, in their understanding of events, their interactions with families, and their varying needs for help and support. The author gives numerous examples of the ways parents and extended family interacted with the children, and also the ways that professionals, friends, and many others help families deal with this tragedy.
