Morris SATISFYING CHILDREN’S CURIOSITY WHEN While adults may be reluctant to talk to children about death, a death that touches them provides an opportunity to do so. The death of a grandparent or other relative or friend of the family is bound to raise questions in the minds of curious children looking for answers. There are no strict rules to fol- low because children mature at different rates, and each has unique capacity to understand the world around him or her. In most cases, it is best to let children guide the discussion. Grown-ups can simply start by asking a child if he or she has any questions. Parents should be able to gauge the emotional and intellectual limits of their own children. MORRIS FUNERAL HOME We understand that death touches children in a profound way. Should you choose, we will provide a wide range of opportuni- ties for children to participate in the commemoration event. We are available for you, 24 hours a day, whenever you need us. You are invited to tour our tastefully appointed facility. We have been serving Wayne County with compassion since 1932.
