FUNERAL HOME
Black Mountain, NC
Dear Friends,
Youngsters, like adults, need to accept and
express their grief in times of tragedy. Children
are more vulnerable to loss, particularly the
death of a parent. Because of their complete
dependence on adults, they consider it a form of
punishment for misbehavior. Children should be
encouraged to express their feelings by talking
about the death - to realize that death is natural
and inevitable.
