EXPLAINING DEATH
TO CHILDREN
Rather than take advantage of opportunities to discuss death with their children, many parents instead try to protect their children and ignore the subject. Doing so postpones such discussions for the day that a grandparent or pet dies, which may not be the best time, especially if parents are dealing with the loss themselves. It is far better to use the dying blooms in a a garden to teach a lesson about life and death. Children can then learn that death is a natural, if not pleasant, part of life. When presented with the idea that is acceptable to talk about death, children will be better equipped to cope with death when confronted with the death of a loved ope. Children always understand more than you think they do, so it is helpful, if a relative is dying, to answer their questions as they come up in words that they can understand. At The MOSER FUNERAL HOME 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton, we can offer resources that can help you talk with your children about death. For a tour, call 347-3431. Bright View Cemetery, just outside Warrenton, offers monuments and memorials for all cemeteries.
QUOTE: “Because I could not stop for Death, He kindly stopped for me; The carriage held but just ourselves and Immortality. ”
