A CHILD’S

GRIEF

It used to be that children were thought to be miniature adults and were expected to behave as adults. It is now understood that there are differences in the ways in which children and adults mourn. Unlike adults, bereaved children do not experience continual and intense emotional and behavioral grief reactions. Children may seem to show grief only occasionally and briefly but, in reality, a child’s grief usually lasts longer than that of an adult. As the surv iving child grows, he or she will think about the loss repeatedly, especially during important times in his or hei life. This longer period of grief is due to the fact that the child's ability to experience intense emotions is limited.

Understanding the needs of your children, when you are feeling strong feelings of grief yourself is very difficult. We are happy to help you by providing information that can be helpful in offering direction for parents wishing to support their children. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, we are here to meet the needs of the entire family,’ from the youngest to the oldest. We’re at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. Call us at 3473431
