Therapy and grief counseling can be vital for processing the trauma and managing feelings of anger, guilt, and profound loss.
These services can be critical for preventing the development of chronic PTSD and other long-term mental health issues.
‘Child death under these circumstances can lead to severe psychological distress,
including PTSD and major depressive disorder,’ noted psychiatrist Dr. Leah Sanderson.
‘Support systems need to be in place to help those affected navigate the emotional and financial fallout.
Access to grief counseling and specialized therapy for child loss survivors can significantly reduce the risk of long-term psychological damage.’
