In 2026, New Mexico ranks first in the nation for childhood bereavement, with one in seven children experiencing the death of a parent or sibling before their 18th birthday. According to research, children who experience unresolved grief are more likely to experience developmental difficulties such as anxiety, sadness, and decreased academic performance.
