Grieving Children Statistics
Consider the facts:
One out of five children will experience the death of someone close, and one out of 20 children will experience the death of a parent by the age of 15. Those not supported in their grief are:
• 5 times less likely to complete suicide
• 10 times less likely to engage in substance abuse
• 20 times less likely to develop behavioral disorders.
Each year, millions of children and adults grieve the death of someone close. These deaths may be from long term illnesses, or may come unexpectedly in the form of automobile accidents, natural disasters, violent crimes, suicides and other tragedies. Survivors on both sides of tragic events suffer a wide range of responses such as: numbness, shock, disorientation, difficulties functioning, fear, blame, anger, shame, regret, confusion, irritability, and even relief and acceptance.
