Know what grief looks like

“Sadness, worry, anger, apathy, confusion, fear, guilt, regression—these are all natural reactions to loss,” says psychotherapist Sarah Roffe, L.C.S.W., cofounder of Kind Minds Therapy in New York City. School-age children may experience stomachaches and headaches, have nightmares, and/or have a hard time sleeping or concentrating. They may also act out death during playtime. Teens may withdraw or take more risks in an attempt to regain control.
