We often fear what we don't understand. We fear what we have never experienced before. A common fear nearly all of us struggle with is the fear of death. No one ever comes back from the grave to tell us about their death experience so it remains a great mystery.

Up until the day before dad died, my mom never gave up hope that he would recover. She worked and prayed for him to get well enough for their lives to go on together a while longer. She hoped against hope that this illness would not be the illness that killed dad. Now, mom, and all the rest of us, have to admit that THIS was dad's illness. It was the 'illness of which he died '. The Bible tells us that the prophet Elisha fell ill of an illness. It was HIS illness. It was the illness that would kill Elisha.


Offers of help. While food is almost always appreciated (see above), sometimes other offers of assistance are needed. Maybe you can provide some hours of childcare, walk a dog, buy a carload of groceries or clean a house. The best thing to do is ask what is needed - then provide.

According to a Cancet Net website article, "When a Parent is Grieving the Loss of a Child," when you lose a child you may lose a close friend, link to grandchildren, and family support. My deceased daughter was all of these things and her death has left a gaping hole in my life.

Decide what to do with the body. Where will the body stay until the funeral service is held? Will the deceased be buried or cremated? If decide on a burial, you will also need to choose a casket. For a cremation, will it be at sea or will you need an urn?



Let them talk and or react and then let them know that it's OK to feel sad or confused or whatever it is that they may be feeling. They just want and need to be heard! Suggesting that they go to their room to cry or figure it all out tells them to "grieve alone". That just isolates them and adds to the confusion, and most importantly, reinforces that it's not OK or safe to talk about any of this.

Death glances back at the wide swath of ashes that marks her path through the forest. She raises her hands to the skies and shouts an incantation. A single tear glistens on her cheek before the lightning strikes. And then she's gone.
