Their response will depend on age, maturity and developmental level, and their ability to understand death. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we allow children to talk to us about death, not only do we give them information that they need to hear, but also these conversations will prepare them for any future crisis or difficult situations they may experience down the road. We can also make it easier for them to talk to us if we are open, honest, and at ease with our own feelings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:58px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-bottom is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u140a\u1450\u140a\u1490\u1403\u1466 \u157f\u1450\u1550\u1593\u14d5\u14d0\u14c4\u1466 \u1438\u1438\u1466\u144e\u1528\u14c4\u14ea\u14d7<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/inuusiq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Inuktitut-Journal-A-guide-for-parents-and-caregivers-7.25-x-9.25-in-1-2.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of Inuktitut Journal-A guide for parents and caregivers (7.25 x 9.25 in).\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-5ff06f3f-ce43-42b4-be53-0747c916dfc3\" href=\"https:\/\/inuusiq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Inuktitut-Journal-A-guide-for-parents-and-caregivers-7.25-x-9.25-in-1-2.pdf\">Inuktitut Journal-A guide for parents and caregivers (7.25 x 9.25 in)<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/inuusiq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Inuktitut-Journal-A-guide-for-parents-and-caregivers-7.25-x-9.25-in-1-2.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-5ff06f3f-ce43-42b4-be53-0747c916dfc3\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Guide for Parents and Caregivers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/inuusiq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Journal-A-guide-for-parents-and-caregivers-7.25-x-9.25-in.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of EN A Guide for Parents and Caregivers.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-9411955d-975c-4cd8-a675-96e2dd6ed91c\" href=\"https:\/\/inuusiq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Journal-A-guide-for-parents-and-caregivers-7.25-x-9.25-in.pdf\">EN A Guide for Parents and Caregivers<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/inuusiq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Journal-A-guide-for-parents-and-caregivers-7.25-x-9.25-in.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-9411955d-975c-4cd8-a675-96e2dd6ed91c\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover alignfull is-light pattern-latest-news\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-gray-background-color has-background-dim-100 has-background-dim\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-primary-dark-color has-text-color has-jumbo-font-size\">More Resources<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"showcase-content alignwide\"\n    data-name=\"archive\">\n    <section class=\"showcase-content__content-container\"><article class=\"content resource\">\n\n    \n        <div class=\"content__taxonomy taxonomy-tabbed resource-categories\">\n                <span class=\"content__taxonomy__term\">Cards<\/span>\n            <\/div>\n        <h3 class=\"content__title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/inuusiq.com\/iu_in\/resource\/affirmation-cards\/\">Affirmation Cards<\/a><\/h3>\n    <div class=\"content__excerpt\"><p>To support Nunavummiut who have experienced prior sexual trauma.
