A Counselor's Guide to Understanding Children's Behaviors from Loss of a Parent
The loss of a parent creates an aftershock of emptiness,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which leaves a void in the soul of the child that can never be filled. A look of “unbearable longing” (Harris, 1995, p. 19) is recorded in dramatic images in the mind,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], conveying the absolute severity of the experience.
Children:
Harris noted children that have experienced the loss of a parent are completely dependent on classmates,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], family members, and friends for emotional support.
There is now substantial evidence of the profound impact the loss of a parent has on a child’s life. According to Volkan (1984-1985), difficulties and complications regarding the grieving process can begin as soon as death occurs. In 1995,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Harris authored the book The Loss that is Forever: The Lifelong Impact of the Early Death of a Mother or Father. This work substantiated that the loss of a parent for a child is catastrophic and so powerful that their lives are dramatically altered.
Experience loneliness and the feeling they are differentTheir stories of pain and sorrow are forever etched in a secret place in the child’s mindThe emotional space of the child’s world is completely ripped apartThey are unable and completely incapable of surviving alone They have no developed sense of identity

The very concepts and language of the child are inadequate to capture the pain, the horror, the panic, and terror of the loss of a parentThere is no vocabulary conclusive enough for a child to express what they feelThey have no words to help them understand what has happenedTheir new world is marked by total discontinuity Everything feels different and unusual A terrifying sense of insecurity marks the life of the child They feel that nothing is safe or predictable A sense of profound emptiness invades the child’s worldThey become completely engulfed by lossThey feel there is no one to help them share the sadness of their loss or to help them hold on to their memories of the past They feel rootless, of having no secure or solid ground to restThey have no sense of directionThey often feel as though their core self is lost Children continue to seek the lost parent for a period of time (Rando,1984)
Based on Harris’ research (1995) counselors often make fundamental errors when they compare the experience of loss felt by an adult with the loss that a child feels when a parent dies. It is helpful for them to be aware of the various behavioral symptoms, effects, and repercussions of major loss on children’s lives.
