Resumen

The global pandemic situation caused by COVID-19 has generated, according to WHO, more than 247,000 deaths worldwide to date. Death has becomea daily news in the opening headlines of news, if not a fact that thousands offamilies are going through. One might wonder how children are coping in apandemic situation. In our chapter we treat child grief as an element that reconstructs the life of the person who has suffered the loss or questions aboutit. It is a relationship that the child establishes with the emptiness that suchloss has left, with the aim of knowing and reflecting on its importance andworking on the frustration and suffering that has created it in the best possibleway.
