BOB FLET fAgypii•Ragit-Wilaanfitia-la-16Witra-gE In our experience as funeral directors, we have found that one of the most frequent questions is whether or not chil- dren can be helped to understand the meaning of liesth. Research has shown that children progress through three stages in such understanding. From apes three through five, nearly all children deny that death is a normal and final event. Children this age often think of death as "sleep." From five to nine, children can understand that death oc- curs, but not that it will happen to everyone. At this age, children often believe that they are inwnortal. Between the apes of nine and eleven comes the atckttt reali zation that death is final and inevitable for everyone. Psychologists say we should .(alk 10 children as naturally as possible about death, emphasizing it as a part of a normal life. Discussions of flowers, .which bloom in the spring and die in the tall, can help each child understand death as best as he is able.
