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.
