What Every Family
Should Know
ONTARIO FUNERAL SERVICE ASSOCIATION
SHALL BEDTIME PRAYERS BE MODIFIED?
The traditional bedtime proyer most .of us said as children can
do more harm than good in certain family situations, such as after
the death of a grandparent who "died in his sleep."
Consider the fear of death -during -sleep which on impressionable
child might have after nightly recitation of the line "... and if
die before I wake..."
Of course, os we, ourselves, have survived the violence found
even in Mother Goose tales. so, too. will our children survive
their fears at bedtime. If, however, you'd like on alternate rhyme
more on the positive side, you may wish to substitute these for
the traditional lines:
"Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
In the morning when I wake,
1 pray the lord a good day to make.
While on the subject. the questions children ask about death
deserve honest answers and on their own level of understan-
ding. It may help if you con relate a person's or pet's death to
that of a flower, o plant or a t-ee... that the flower grew, bloom-
ed, faded and finally died, all in o natural order of events.
We'II be glad to discuss these subjects with you in greater detail.
