How to Help a Child Who Misses Grandma After She Dies

When your child misses Grandma after she dies, you don't have to fix the feeling. Let them say it as often as they need, tell them you miss her too, and give the missing small, steady places to go, like a bedtime memory, her photo or a sweater that still smells like her. If the sadness starts changing how your child eats, sleeps or plays for weeks, call your pediatrician.
