WHEN CHILDREN
GRIEVE
When children of any age grieve, they need the help of adults who will provide them with accurate explanations to their questions and listen to their feelings and fears. Because grief in children is compounded by a lack of understanding, parents are urged to avoid euphemisms in their explanations and speak directly and frankly. This will help children, who think in very concrete terms, to come to understand and accept death. As for attending the funeral, children should be given the option to do so as long as they are told exactly what to expect beforehand. And, while children may seem fine initially, their grief can be long-lasting, with the experience of sadness and anger lasting weeks, months, or years.
Children understand so much more than we give them credit for that it’s helpful to give them the information they need to help process the loss of their loved one. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton, we are here to offer you support as you deal with your family members. You’ll find us to be experienced in the ups and downs of grief and here to lend a hand. For years, we have worked with families, helping them through difficult times. Call 540347-3431, and we’re happy to lend a hand. "At every step the child should be allowed to meet the real experiences of life, the thorns should never be plucked from his roses. ” -Ellen Key
