Fathering Project  

Grief is something no family can completely avoid. Whether it’s the loss of a loved one, a pet, a separation, or even big changes like moving schools or losing independence - these moments impact kids, dads, and families in different ways.

Help kids understand and express grief

Kids look to you to understand how to handle big feelings. When you show that it’s okay to feel sadness, confusion, or even anger, you’re teaching them emotional strength. And when someone close to your family is grieving, simply being there and checking in regularly can make a huge difference.

Try this:

If someone in your life is going through loss, check in. Offer to grab a coffee or just sit with them. Don’t push conversation - just let them know you’re there. And if you’re grieving yourself, give yourself permission to feel it all. You don’t have to go through it alone.

Real strength isn’t about “staying strong", it’s about staying connected. Modelling this to your children is one of the most important things you can do.
