CHILDREN AND
GRIEVING
When parents consider the question of whether their children are old enough to attend a funeral, they should take more than age into account. Important factors include the circumstances surrounding the death, the child's temperament, the family's attitude, and the wishes of the child. Generally speaking, funerals provide children with the same opportunity that they allow grownups - the ability to say good-bye to the deceased. Children also benefit from knowing their daily routines will not be disrupted, from talking openly about their feelings, and from knowing that they can cry or feel sad. Including children in the grieving process, to the extent that they are able to participate. enables them to mitigate their losses.
Our perspectives on children and grieving have certainly changed over the last four decades. Before, many sought to "protect" the child by offering little information. Today, children often participate and often gain a valuable connection to their families by participating in the rituals of loss. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, 233 Broadview Avenue. Warrenton, you'll find all of our dealings with you to be discreet, professional and thorough. Please give us a call at 347-3431 or stop in and sec us.
"No grief is so acute Intt that time ameliorates it."
