Childhood Traumatic Grief and Military Children

Children in military families are incredibly resilient and typically thrive among supportive family and friends who understand their needs. But there are times when their resilience is tested. Sadly some children and teens will not have the wished-for reunion with their military family member or friend, but instead will have to deal with the death of this special person.

We’ve compiled the following list of resources to assist parents, friends and others to help children through these traumatic events.
