Death and Dying



Page 2Introduction
There are many stages in life. Since the moment we are born, we are
growing and changing. When people are older the risk of dying becomes
much higher. I know that death is something horrible and that it
causes a lot of grief, but we have to understand
that it is a natural process.
Dying is the only thing in life
that will surely happen.
When a loved one is dying, it
is reallyhard for him and his
family and friends. In this
paper, you will read about
different ways to make this
pain easier and also ways to say
good-bye.
Although intellectually we all
know that one day we will die,
generally we are so reluctant to
think of our death that this
knowledge does not touch our
hearts, and we live our life as if we
were going to be in this world
forever.

Experience Death and Grief
For most children, death is a new experience. And like all new experiences, the
unknown can be confusing and frightening. Most children do not know what to
expect following the loss of a family member or friend. Young children may not
understand what death really means and may be confused or even frightened
by thereactions of other family
members. In the case of traumatic
death, the confusion and fear is even
greater.
For adults, death is more familiar and
the grieving process is something
many adults know first hand. Most
adults have experienced the range of
feelings that often come with
traumatic loss - anger, confusion and
sadness, and have learned ways to
cope with loss. This may not be the
case forchildren, particularly young
children.
At the same time, children will seek
answers and comfort from their
caregivers and other adults in their lives. Yet
in the face of traumatic death, adults often feel helpless in this role. While adults
can not have answers to all the questions that children may have about death,
they can help children better understand the grieving process.
Thisguide addresses some of the key issues related to the child's complex set of
reactions that often follow traumatic death. While focused on traumatic death,
this information may be helpful to families, caseworkers, teachers and other
adults working and living with any grieving children.
This simple guide is intended to inform and provide general principles. It is not
intended to be comprehensive...
