Children and Grief

8 pages.

As children grow and mature, they ask more detailed questions and need more complete answers. The best time to do any death education is when the event arises, whether it’s the bee on the sidewalk, the bird in the street, or a dead pet. The teachable moment serves us well and doesn’t need to be when a funeral occurs. If, however, a funeral is the first chance you have, you can recall times when the bird, pet, or dead bee entered the scene and go from there.
