The death of a grandparent

When grandparents are present in their grandchildren's lives, they hold a special place in their hearts. What happens when they pass away?

• When a grandparent's life ends, it is important that parents do not leave their grandchildren without an explanation. Death and bereavement are inevitable experiences in life.
• Younger children have a right to feel that their grandparents have a place in their hearts and will appreciate a symbolic or physical goodbye.
• In order to use age-appropriate words, a specialist can be consulted.
