Follow the NudgeChildren's Grief - Resources
Childhood grief is one of society’s most overlooked, least understood, yet pervasive social issues
One in 14 American children will lose a parent or sibling before age 18, and the majority of children experience a significant loss by the time they complete high school. Recognizing the critical need to provide greater support to grieving children and their families, the New York Life Foundation has made childhood bereavement a key focus area over the past decade. New York Life Foundation has developed a site with dedicated children's bereavement and grief resources and information: www.achildingrief.com
