The 5 Stages of Grief and Loss:
1. Denial and isolation; 2. Anger; 3. Bargaining; 4. Depression; 5. Acceptance. People who are grieving do not necessarily go through the stages in the same order or experience all of them.

The Charlene Reaveley Children’s Charity was created to offer support and assistance to grieving children and their families.  What was needed in Dan’s experience was counselling without financial burden, access to books and resources within the community and a connection to families who were also experiencing a loss in their lives.

​Child & Youth Bereavement - Langley Hospice
Grief is a natural reaction to loss. It is the normal process that occurs after a person has experienced the death of someone significant in their life. Children and teens express loss differently from adults, and may have many different responses. Children and teens may  be affected academically, behaviourally, emotionally, socially and physically. The type of support that children and teens receive during their bereavement can impact their health and well-being, social relationships and future success in school.
