Of all the emotions that our children experience, I believe that sadness is one of those that is hardest for us to learn to deal with, and not because it bothers us as parents or caretakers, but because it breaks our hearts to see them in such pain and not be able to change the harshness of the situation, as in the case of the death of a person we love. There are no ABCs that tell us step by step what to do at such times. Each family processes experiences in specific ways. And even with some light on how to approach this situation with our children, it is very likely that the pain of the moment can silence the brilliance of the theory. I have written this guide from my own experience and from my desire to continue to maintain a vision full of inclusion, love and respect for our children even in times of loss, situations in which, unfortunately, in some contexts they are still excluded precisely because they are children. The guide will help you both if you are going through a process of mourning the significant death of a loved one and also if you want to have an idea of how to approach the concept of death with your children or students.
