As cited by Riely (2003) “No one, neither adult nor child, cries in the same way” (p. 213). Parents generally do not tell their children the whole story of a death. “Children “are not allowed to talk about who, what, when, where, or why a death occurred” (Riely, 2003, p. 213). Unsure of what is happening, children try to piece together the information they receive and feel.
