THE EMPTY PLACE: talking to kids about death

death. It occurs in many ways. It may be sudden, expected, prolonged or accidental. It’s never easy to deal with. As adults, it overwhelms us. And it’s even harder for children to move through. Though we know it’s an inevitable part of life, talking about death is something most of us aren’t really good at because the subject is so painful. It is a hard undertaking, but it can be done with grace.
