💔 How to Talk to Your Children About Death And Truly Support Their Healing

Guidance for Parents in Lebanon Living Through War, Fear, and Loss

In a country like Lebanon, where war, loss, and daily threats shake our lives how do we talk to our children about death without causing them more fear? How do we help them feel safe again when they’ve lost a loved one, a home, or the world they once knew?

At Anawtofli, we know how painful and overwhelming it can be to raise children in such uncertainty. That’s why we offer one-on-one coaching, tools, and customized emotional support activities to help you turn your child’s confusion, grief, or aggression into understanding, resilience, and emotional safety.

 

🌱 Grief Is Not Just for Adults – Children Grieve Too

Children experience grief deeply, even if they can’t fully express it.

  • A toddler may ask, “When is Grandma coming back?”
  • A 6-year-old might suddenly become angry, withdrawn, or clingy.
  • A teenager may seem cold or detached, when inside they’re overwhelmed.

Each reaction is normal, but without the right guidance, grief can leave lasting emotional wounds.

 

🧸 Let’s Turn Play Into Healing

You don’t need to explain everything with words.

At Anawtofli, we offer specially selected Montessori-inspired toys that gently guide your child to express, explore, and heal their feelings.

Here are 7 powerful toys you can find in our store that promote emotional expression:

  1. Feelings Matching Cards – Help your child name what they’re feeling.
  2. Comfort Dolls – Support emotional bonding and reduce anxiety.
  3. Grief Story Puzzle – Encourage storytelling through pictures and sequences.
  4. Breathing Ball – Teach calm-down strategies through breathwork.
  5. Memory Box Kit – Help children store memories of lost loved ones.
  6. Emotion Stones – Encourage non-verbal emotional expression.
  7. Self-Regulation Spinner – Guide your child to identify what they need (hug, space, talk, etc.).
