Children and Loss

I watched a wonderful program a few days ago on grieving. The program, hosted by Katie Couric, is titled, Sesame Street: When Families Grieve. I was impressed with the sincerity and delicate manner in which they produced the program.

Couric experienced the loss of her husband when her children were quite young. At the time she noticed how few resources were available for children dealing with the loss of a loved one. This propelled her some years later to work in unison with Sesame Street to provide this touching and informative series.

If you know a grieving child, encourage their parent or guardian to access this series. I believe this is a powerful tool designed to aid children who are experiencing the loss of a loved one, as well as the parents or guardians responsible for them.

I have provided a link for you to check out Sesame Street: When Families Grieve.
