Shock Is A Part Of Grieving

Many children that experience sudden loss may not immediately exhibit any emotional reactions. This is known as emotional shock, and is a natural defense mechanism that often occurs to help children cope with the immediacy of the loss. If your child is experiencing emotional shock following the loss of a loved one, be prepared to help your child come to terms with their grief over the long-term.
