TALKING TO CHILDREN WITH A
DYING PARENT
It is one of the most stressful life events when a child faces the impending death of a parent. While well-intended adults once shielded children from this reality, experts now encourage openness.. With proper education and preparation, the damage can be mitigated. Adults can deal with open communication, but ages of six and eight tend to experience "anticipatory anxiety” more that the anticipatory grief that adolescents and adults are likely to feel. Thus, they need to be reassured. Children aged eight to eleven benefit most from “carefully sequenced information” about their parents, which helps them make sense of the experience. Today, we understand more about how to talk with children about death. We understand that they need inf ormation given to diem in an age-appropriate fashion. At MOSER FUNERAL HOME, were here to offer resources that can help you, from referrals to counselors to books that might serve your child. We’re at 233 Broadview Ave„ Wairenton. Call 540-347-3431.
