If these children are suffering from loss due to the stresses of life if not separation in death. It would behoove you to step out of your feelings.
To balance care. Is stability in one self. To extend unto another. Who may not be in a mental condition. To deal with what their; internally feelings. Including those who may self medicate; to avoid physcologically dealing with the stresses of this life. In all ages of human beings, trying to find comfort. While healing to have a peace of mind.
To cure a broken heart; heal it with the love. Peace & respect. Because we all in humanity. Will process a date. Of being separated from another human. If not missing of what existed in their lives. Due to death. Regardless of how these human beings; departed from this earth.
Coping with Death is not replacing an animal in place of a human affection, are neither is putting on a hardened face. If not flip flopping to the next human.
Coping is a process. We all have sought; a action of love. On earth. The emotional connection. Until death occurs. That feeling; can't be ever again, feels & physically touched.
To live, you must be willing to heal. One's self; First.
