Our friends teach us an important lesson about talking with children about death.

“He passed away.”
“We lost her.”
“She’s gone to sleep.”

We often use phrases like these because we want to protect children from the pain of death. But for grieving children, vague language and euphemisms can sometimes create more confusion, fear, and mistrust than simply telling the truth.

The kindest thing we can do? Use real words.
Died. Dead.

At The Sharing Place, this is what we recommend when talking with children about death—and it’s supported by research from two leading organizations in childhood grief: The Dougy Center and the National Alliance for Grieving Children.

When we use clear, honest language, we give children the understanding and trust they need as they grieve.

"One of the worst days in America's history saw some of the bravest acts in Americans' history. We'll always honor the heroes of 9/11. And here at this hallowed place, we pledge that we will never forget their sacrifice." —President George W. Bush at the Pentagon, 2008

Today we remember the lives lost, honor the first responders who ran toward danger, and hold close all who continue to carry this day with them. Never forget.

September 10 marks World Su***de Prevention Day—a time to unite, break the silence, and take meaningful steps toward saving lives.
This globally recognized day encourages open conversation, emphasizes supportive actions, and reminds us that su***de is preventable. By sharing hope, offering help, and shifting attitudes, we can build a culture where no one feels they have to face their thoughts alone. https://www.iasp.info/wspd/

Back to school can bring big feelings — for kids and parents alike.

A little preparation and an open conversation can help kids feel more confident about what's ahead. Try asking: "How are you feeling about going back to school?" or "Is there anything you're worried about?"

A few small things that help: easing into routines before day one, prepping supplies and outfits together, talking through what to expect, and checking in once school starts.

And remember — you don't have to have all the answers.
