The loss of a loved one is difficult for everyone, and that includes a child. If you have lost a loved one recently and are starting to plan for their funeral or memorial service, you may be wondering how to best help your child manage this event. East Brunswick, NJ funeral home and cremation providers see this kind of worry often, and they have some suggestions that can make it much easier for a child to attend the service and benefit emotionally from it.
It is essential that you take the time to tell the child about the process of a funeral or memorial. Letting them know what they should expect can go a long way to alleviate the fear or worry they may have. If possible, walk them through the service, telling them exactly what they will see and hear so they can be prepared. Most children fear the unknown, so making this process more familiar will help.
Funeral homes are always more than happy to welcome a visit from a child. Funeral home directors can carefully explain the process and can answer all of the questions children may have about death. This visit will also put a child at ease as to space where the service will take place. You can easily do this by calling the funeral home and scheduling a visit with your child.
Be as honest as you can about your own feelings. Many times, children will try to hide their own sadness for fear of making adults sad, but you can fix this by sharing what you feel first. They may also wonder if they can cry during the service, so let them know that they certainly can. Things that seem normal and common sense to us may not appear so to a child, so making things as clear as possible is essential.
A child may also worry about what to say or do at the service. They may have questions about what they should wear, as well. Take time to answer all of these in advance so that they do not have any unheard concerns. If you can, get a copy of the service so that they can see when everything will occur and be prepared for it.
All of these suggestions can make a difference in the experience your child has at a funeral or memorial service. These services are highly beneficial to their emotional well-being, so you do want them to attend if possible, but do not force them to do so if they do not want to. By being honest with your own feelings and by letting the child know as much as you can about the service, you will be helping them tremendously.
