Learn the Nine Basic Needs of the Grieving Child or Adolescent
This suicide grief ebook identifies the following needs for younger populations:
1. Fair and honest handling of questions (opportunity for informed choice)
Children and adolescents deserve the same respect as adults in terms of receiving factual, unbiased grief resource information. They need this to make informed decisions and process traumatic or distressing news.
2. Age appropriateness of explanation
It does little good, and probably some harm, to overload children with information in a time of crisis. As with any of us, their ability to absorb it is decreased with stress.
Small amounts of accurate grief resource information, presented with care, will help to prevent further trauma.
3. Respect for the child's personhood
This bears repeating because it is so important to avoid a paternalistic or condescending approach.
The fact that a child or adolescent is young is not an indication that he is unable to grasp the meaning of the event. It just needs to be phrased in words and thoughts he can follow.
4. Consistency
It is useful for the adults or other support persons to be consistent in their approach. This suicide grief ebook shows you how.
There is a tendency to over-commit and overwhelm the griever in the immediate aftermath of a tragedy.
Abbreviated contact that can be sustained over time is more supportive. Many people will flock to the family at the time of death, particularly when it is a traumatic situation such as suicide. This does not necessarily constitute a healthy grief resource!
During the weeks and months that follow, however, there is a scarcity of friends and family willing to hear what the grievers need to say.
5. Direct and clear communication
Again, it is important to be honest and direct. Denial of feelings, or difficulty in dealing with certain issues may result in superficial communication. This is an important issue since children and teens will be very sensitive to topics that are treated as 'taboo'.
6. Tolerance for emotional response
Familiarity with the normal range of emotional and physical reactions to grief will help the grief resource support person to be most comforting. It provides security for the grieving child or adolescent to be treated with a matter-of-fact, calm response, regardless of their emotional distress.
7. Physical and emotional safety
It is the responsibility of the adult or older person to assure that there is a safe environment in which to express these reactions.
There are many considerations which impact the manner in which a griever behaves. These include cultural, gender-based, age-related, and lifestyle-related beliefs and practices.
Judgmental, critical comments have no place in the role of the person who would be a grief resource. As long as the child or teen is not presenting harm to himself or others, he must be allowed to react freely to his distress.
8. Dependability
Common courtesy and good parenting both dictate that promises are to be kept. This is important to consider in the case of grieving persons of all ages. There are memory and concentration difficulties associated with the grieving process in addition to feelings of abandonment and loneliness.
It is much kinder to set limits on the promises made than to make promises only to break them.
9. Firm interpersonal boundaries established and maintained by the grief resource support person.
The grieving child or teen is extremely vulnerable. He deserves the security of knowing his own physical and emotional boundaries will be honored and protected by a mature helping person.
