Filial mourning

Filial mourning is when a child grieves for their parent who has passed away. This means that the child feels very sad and misses their mom or dad a lot. It is important for the child to remember their parent and talk about their feelings with other people who can help them feel better. It is okay to cry and be sad, but it is also okay to try and remember happy memories with their parent as well.
