Grief counseling for children in the age of 4 – 12

How nice that you found this blog.

 

If you want to work with children to help heal their open ends in terms of feelings, thoughts, behavior or pain as a result of a loss in their lives, then you have come to the right place.

Parents, aunts or uncles, grandfathers or grandmothers can work together with this work plan and their (grand)children, nephews or nieces to guide the process of grieving after the death of someone in the family in a playful way.

 

Teachers can also work with this grief processing method at primary schools.

In the new Age of Aquarius that has begun, we are meant to remember that we are connected to an inner Source, a collective memory, from which you can draw immeasurable strength. Just ask for it, care providers, just be open to it, and it will come to you.

In the silence of our hearts, we arrive at the observer within ourselves, our True Self; beyond our thoughts, feelings, physical complaints. It is in that Unity Field of Love and Light, of which our deceased loved ones are also a part, that healing can be found.

Give the children plenty of time (a few days to a few weeks) so that each part can sink in, can be worked and played with and has its place. After which you start the next chapter. Good luck grief counselor, you can do it!
