3 Tips for Parents to Help Boys Grieve:

1. Create a Safe Space for Expression:
- Encourage your son to share his feelings without fear of judgment. Let him know it’s okay to feel sadness, anger, or confusion.
- Use prompts like, “How are you feeling about this?” or, “It’s okay to cry if you need to.”

2. Model Healthy Grieving:
- Show your son that it’s normal to grieve by sharing your own feelings. For example, “I feel sad about this too, and I cry sometimes when I think about it.”
- Avoid reinforcing stereotypes like “boys don’t cry.” Instead, emphasize that everyone grieves in their own way.

3. Provide Tools for Processing Grief:
- Offer activities like journaling, drawing, or talking with a trusted adult. These can help boys externalize their emotions in a manageable way.
- Suggest books or movies that explore grief in relatable ways, encouraging discussion afterward.
- Consider involving them in rituals or ceremonies, such as planting a tree in memory of a loved one, to give a tangible outlet for their feelings.

By normalizing and supporting the grieving process, parents can help boys build emotional strength and resilience that lasts a lifetime.
