CHILDREN’S VIEWS
OF DEATH
While some might assume that most young children do not formulate any definite ideas about death, a collection of their thoughts reveals otherwise. For instance, one four year-old looked at death as “being sad, but happy too," as if “God gave him (the deceased) an invitation to heaven." At another moment, the same child voiced fear about God’s ability to “take away life." Another child coped with the death of her grandmother by accumulating personal items for a “grandma museum.” Yet another child wanted to pay respect for his deceased grandfather by dressing up like him for Halloween. All this underscores the fact that children have strong feelings about death. Just ask them.
Chances are, there will be children who will participate in the services following the death of a loved one. At MOSER FUNERAL HOME, we can offer suggestions and options regarding the participation of children in the commemoration services. Contact us at (540) 347-3431. Allow us to arrange a confidential meeting and tour of our facility at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. We are here for you.
