Death is scary for anyone, but especially scary for a child. You may want to take your child to a therapist specializing in children and grief. It may be one of the most effective ways to help your child understand and cope. Make sure you allow the child's teachers and school officials know exactly what is going on as well.

Playgroup or After School Activities
Enroll your child in a playgroup or another after school activity. During this sad time it will provide something happy and positive for your child to look forward to. It will also help your child to be away from the home and may help you to have an hour or two private time to grieve.

A Special Flower/Plant/Tree
Help your child plant a special flower or tree in memory of their sibling. Teach them how to care for the plant or tree and give them the responsibility of taking care of it. This is a very special way for your child to feel close to the sibling they lost and to remember them.

A Memory Book
Create a special memory book with your child about his/her sibling. Include a story your child has written about his or her sibling, a special photo, and special things about both children. Allow your child to look at this special memory book when he or she needs to. Just like adults, there are times when children want to remember and feel close to the child.

Big Brothers, Big Sisters
Enroll your child in the Big Brothers, Big Sisters programs. It will be wonderful for your child to be away from the home and the sadness and to be involved with activities. It will also be helpful for your child to have a relationship with someone who is not directly affected by the loss of the child.

Peer Siblings
Just as there is peer parenting for parents, peer siblings is a program offered in some areas. Contact your hospital, clinic, or Department of Public Health for more information. If one is not offered, the previous three contacts may be able to pass your name, number, and request to someone who has suffered loss and has children as well.

A Special Letter
Sit down with your child and help him/her write a letter to the sibling they lost. Encourage them to be open and candid about what they feel in this letter. Make this an activity you can do when your child feels the need to. Save the letters to show your child when they are older. A Friends said: "I put letters from my nieces and nephew in Zachary's memorial trunk."
