HELPING CHILDREN
UNDERSTAND
Most parents wait until they are confronted with death before they start thinking about how to help their children with the concept. That may not be tlie best time, especially if parents are also dealing with the loss. Better to take a few moments and reflect on your beliefs about death and your experiences with it. Then, there are endless opportunities to talk with children about death as a part of like. Most parents ignore these chances, however, trying to protect their children from “unpleasantness.” Experts say that parents should, instead seize these opportunities. The dying blooms on a rose bush can teach a lesson about life and death, as can the changing seasons or the death of a pet.
Children understand so much more than we ever imagine so it’s important to give them the right material so they can more easily process what they observe. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, 223 Broadview Ave., we have resources for you to help your children understand the loss of a parent or loved one. Just ask us for the help you need. Call us at 347-3431 to set up an appointment
