The recent headlines about parent and child separation at the U.S. border has raised concern about the impact of such experiences on young children. In this article, the author provides the children's perspective of parental separation and loss and their experience of mourning during infancy and early childhood. Three vignettes illustrate how different children expressed their grief and the role of a sensitive adult to help them process and cope with the trauma of loss and mourning.
