There is no denying that the last year has been a difficult one. While there may be a light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to COVID-19, much damage has already been done.
You may have experienced everything from job loss to the adjustment of working from home or homeschooling your kids for the first time. Or, perhaps the pandemic rocked your family on an even deeper level, if you lost a loved one or close friend.
If you did lose someone close to you, you might have a hard time grieving on your own. But, it’s important not to ignore how your child(ren) might be feeling. Kids can grieve just as much as adults can, and their genuine feelings need to be acknowledged, not ignored.
