Helping
Children With Funerals
By
Dr. Alan D. Wolfelt
The
Adult as Role Model and Helper
A
child you care about is grieving. If you, too, loved the
person who died, you are now faced with the difficult
but critical task of helping both yourself and the child
heal. Throughout the coming months you will be both a
role model and a helper to the bereaved child in your
care. One of the first opportunities for you and the child
to express your grief is the funeral. This excerpt will
help you understand the importance of the funeral, not
only for you and other adult mourners, but for the children.
It will also offer suggestions for guiding children through
this important ritual in a healthy, life-affirming way.
