You'll probably see me cry at your dad's service. And that's okay. Your Uncle Dan may or may not be crying. And that's okay too.

• Reassure them that crying is a healthy way that people of all ages show their feelings when they’re sad.

• Let them know that not everybody cries and some people may show no emotion. This doesn't mean they don't care or that they aren't sad.

• Sometimes people feel numb for a while, and feelings may come weeks or months after a death.
