Day Ten: Grieving with Kids

​We have a friend who is a funeral director and he is so good at including kids in the process of a funeral and saying good-bye. I think it’s important to be able to ask questions when you are a kid. I think it’s important for adults to listen and answer as they are able.  Grieving is tough. It’s especially tough when you have never experienced something like this before. Funeral directors, pastors, counsellors all sorts of folks want to walk with you as you grieve. Simple questions might be easy to answer like where did Grandma’s legs go? (Because only half the casket is open) It might be a tough question like what is heaven like. Being honest is good- it’s ok to say I don’t know but here is what I think- or let’s go find out   together.  Being vulnerable and brave all at the same time can be a gift to your children in this very difficult time.
