Children And Young People Children and young people may respond differently to grief and have thoughts and feelings which they may want to express in different ways. Although it is not possible to protect children and young people from feeling sad, talking openly with them will help them. If you feel you would like further support and advice on how to talk to a child or young adult, please speak to a health professional who was involved in caring for your loved one. Alternatively, you may wish to refer to the websites listed in this leaflet. The following “do’s and don’ts” may provide some useful guidance.
