What are the differences in adult grief child grief?

In: Grief Loss and Bereavement [Edit categories]

Answer:

With adult grief it is expected that parents will die sooner or later before their children or, in some cases younger people have no reason to feel someone as young as a friend; sibling, etc., will die because of their youth. Although the grief is intense at any age when a parent loses a child it is a great shock because all parents go through life feeling they will die before their children and suddenly the shock of a child dying is more than most parents can bare as they have only had their child such a short time.
