The pandemic has made it somewhat easier to acknowledge loss and grief in our society. Death, usually hidden away, is now mentioned in the daily news. As difficult as it is for adults to cope with bereavement it is even more challenging for children. They don't necessarily have the words and the emotional experience and reserves that older people have to help.

Now, she loves her life and is eager to help others.
