Let your child know Mommy and Daddy will be around a long time too, but if anything did happen, he would always be cared for. Spiritual Religion teaches about the meaning of life and death, provides explanations, and offers comfort. If you are not religious, you can still teach your children there is a higher meaning of life. We can carry on the good works of a loved one who died. We can dedicate some good works of our own to their memory.
Parents can teach children that there is a reason for everything, even death.
Seeing themselves as a small but important part of a larger mosaic can help children remain hopeful. For specific medical advice, diagnoses, and treatment, consult your doctor.
