Does anyone have any experience of helping children cope with grief. My son's father passed away in may in very traumatic circumstances. My son has just started year ten in school he's almost 15. He's not going to school today (he's not been in much since it happened) he has just received an award in cadets this weekend and is an absolute mess because he is not able to tell his dad. His dad would have been so incredibly proud of him.
I don't know what to do, part of me thinks I should just allow him space to grieve and if that means missing school so be it another part of me worries he needs the normality school provides and I'm also concerned that school will soon stop being supportive and ill start getting in trouble due to his poor attendance.
Does anyone have any advice or experience they could share?
