Funeral / Grief – magnet set

How do you explain a funeral service, or celebration of life to a child???

Using tactile tools can help ease this process:

- Explain the anticipated order of events while holding and pointing to the pieces. This can have a clarifying sense for young minds. It can help to break huge concepts into smaller chunks: this is going to happen, then this, then that... Giving kids clear ideas about what to expect can help alleviate some of the scariness of the unknown.

- Explain what each piece is and what’s for, what it represents to you.

- Go through the pieces and ask if they have any questions about any of them.

- Is there a piece in the set that’s different than the rituals they’re going to encounter? Discuss this.

- Ask how some of the pieces make them feel. You might get some surprising answers.
