Separation, Grief and Loss
- 1. Separation, Grief & Loss negative impact of multiple placements, importance of effective transitions, benefits of including the clients ’ family in therapy
- 10. What we can do to help Identify that they are feeling grief Listen to youth Express empathy for their loss Communicate with your Supervisor and the youth ’s therapist Connect youth to other family or friends through phone calls or visits Provide Structure and a set Schedule Use Positive Reinforcement when they take care of themselves Don ’t tell a youth how they should feel Plan ahead for grief “triggers” – Anniversaries, holidays, etc
Editor's Notes
- Trying to ignore the youth ’s pain or keep it from surfacing will only make it worse in the long run. For real healing it is necessary to face the grief and actively deal with it.
- If the youth is experiencing any of these emotions following a loss, it may help to know that their reaction is natural and that he or she will heal in time. However, not everyone who is grieving goes through all of these stages – and that ’s okay. Contrary to popular belief, a person does not have to go through each stage in order to heal. In fact, some people resolve their grief without going through any of these stages. And if a child goes through these stages of grief, they probably won’t experience them in a neat, sequential order, so don’t worry about what the child “should” be feeling or which stage they’re supposed to be in. Kübler-Ross herself never intended for these stages to be a rigid framework that applies to everyone who mourns.
