THE SACRED
CORE OF LIFE
In an effort to "spare" children, well intentioned parents often leave their offspring in the dark. It may be more helpful to address death in a more honest way. Remember that loss and sadness are familiar childhood experiences. Separation fear, which is one of the dominant feelings expressed when someone in the family dies, is something that nearly all infants know by a few months of age. Remember also that children are well sensitized to feelings of sadness and measures of comfort. These are the cues that children draw on when faced with a death at a later age. By participating in the process, parents can help reinforce healthy coping skills and help children deal with the deep feelings that accompany loss.
Children need to be taught about the various aspects of death with a kind hand. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, we know that children absorb so much more than we wish they would, so it eases them to understand what is happening when a death occurs.
