How to Explain Death to Children

How to Explain Death to Children
by Rabbi Earl A. Grollman, D.D.

This sensitive insightful 12 page booklet guides adults through the difficult task of explaining death to children. It addresses the often asked questions, "should children be shielded from death?, "do children understand death?", "should your child attend the Funeral, and the Cemetery", and "how about after the Funeral?". In conclusion, 10 general guidelines are listed to guide adults in helping children through loss.
