Whether it is the death of a public figure like Kobe Bryant or of a beloved family member or friend, loss can create many difficult emotions for kids and adults.
Gina Kornfeind, MSW, MS, a pediatric palliative care social worker and bereavement counselor and coordinator at UCLA Mattel Children’s Hospital, is available to be interviewed on the topic of loss and grief. She can offer coping strategies on how to deal with feelings of loss and grief, especially when children are involved.
