In our community the following resources were available with differing levels of success.
The public school's guidance councilor.
Faith based councilors.
Professional Councilors.
Bereavement support groups.
Surprisingly a funeral home Director and our insurance company were able to point me to several free bereavement resources in the area.
Parental support - Recognizing the acting out of abnormal behavior as a child not knowing and not having the tools or experience to deal with a new and emotional loss. I tried my best to listen, to answer questions honestly and understandably. One counselor who was very helpful suggested the children write a letter to the deceased which we all delivered to the grave site and said prayers. This helped them to say good bye and find closure.
