Talking to Children About Death
Death is a complex, incomprehensible topic. After the death of a loved one, people are often left with many unanswered questions: Why does this have to happen? What does it feel like to die? What happens to the body after death? Is there an afterlife? Although adults have general knowledge about death and the process that follows, they still do not have a full understanding. For children, it’s even more difficult to comprehend the topic when they don’t know what it means to die. They are aware of the concept because of its prevalence in television and movies, but they may not be able to translate that awareness to understanding in real life. Here you will find some ways to help explain and expose your child to the topic, as well as ways to help your child cope with the loss of a loved one.
