The loss of a loved one can be difficult to talk about, especially for children and young adults.
An estimated 200,000 kids have lost their primary caregiver because of the pandemic.
But even before the pandemic, an average of one out of twelve children have experienced the death of someone in their immediate family.
Lisa Aman is the executive director of Kate’s Club, an organization that connects young people dealing with grief.
She says one result of COVID-19 is it has removed the taboo and made it necessary for many more people to talk about death and grief. She says the group’s attendance nearly doubled between 2019 and 2021.
