Children who are having serious problems with grief and loss may show one or more of these signs:
an extended period of depression in which the child loses interest in daily activities and events
inability to sleep, loss of appetite, prolonged fear of being alone
acting much younger for an extended period
excessively imitating the dead person
believing they are talking to or seeing the deceased family member for an extended period of time
repeated statements of wanting to join the dead person
withdrawal from friends
sharp drop in school performance or refusal to attend school
If you see any of these signs, additional support is recommended.
You can contact your child’s school, primary doctor, mental health provider, or a hotline for help. Dial 9-8-8 to reach the NM Crisis and Access Line.
