For Families: When Families Grieve
Grown-ups grieve too. You don't have to have all the answers for your kids, and you don't have to do it alone.
Who it's for
A bereaved parent is often grieving and caregiving at the same time, and unsure what a small child can understand.
Feelings it meets
What it is
A short family-facing video from Sesame Workshop's When Families Grieve outreach, presented as a Sesame Street in Communities resource featuring the Sesame Street Muppets. It is intended to help families get through the time after a loved one dies together. It appears on Sesame Street for Military Families' grief page alongside related clips about Elmo's Uncle Jack.
Where to find it
