Talking to your son about death is a delicate and challenging conversation, but it's an important part of life. Recognize that the conversation about death is not a one-time event. Encourage your son to continue expressing his feelings and thoughts as he processes the information.

By approaching the conversation with sensitivity, honesty, and a commitment to ongoing support, you can provide your son with the tools to navigate this challenging aspect of life. Remember that each child is unique, so adapt these guidelines to suit your son's individual needs and understanding. Be patient, compassionate, and attentive to your son's needs as you navigate this sensitive topic together.
