The Greatest Day Of Hope Shines Through The Great Darkness Of Death
I was listening to the oldies station the other day and the song, American Pie by Don McLean came on. I was alone in my car, so I belted out the lyrics "drove my Chevy to the levy, but the levy was dry" with abandon. It made me think of the first time I heard the song in 1971. My boyfriend (later my husband and eventually my ex husband) and I were driving my car to the Salt River. Somehow singing "Drove my Dodge to the river, but the river's not dry" just didn't have the same pizzaz. But I digress.


Arthur Ashe: He is the only African-American until now to have won the Grand Slam at Wimbledon, Flushing Meadows and Australia. In 1980, Arthur had to have a heart surgery and thirteen years later, in 1993, he died due to AIDS. Ashe was the first junior African American tennis player to be awarded with a national rank by the US Lawn Tennis Association.

By checking the will you will find out about some specific instructions. What music do they want? Do they want to be buried or cremated? Then what? Do they want something special to happen at their funeral? Be informed - check the will.



Preschool aged children do not typically understand that death is forever. They may think that the pet is sleeping or has run away or is just at the vet's office and will return. The wording is very important. Many times, parents will say that the pet "has gone away" or "went to sleep and did not wake up". This causes unrest and anxiety in many children. They may develop separation anxieties when they are dropped off at school or at a family member's home. Children may worry that their parent or caregiver might go away and not come back. Children do see death as temporary at this age and therefore may see death as "separation" rather than permanent.

Pick the best color. One crucial decision to make when ordering flowers is your choice of colors. Choose flowers that are appropriate for the occasion. Most of the time, florists would recommend spring flowers for their timelessness and beauty.

One of the greatest worries is how will my family cope without me. In the light of ones death the thoughts of who will take care or be there for the family is one of the most difficult burdens to bear.

At this age, they do not need long, drawn out discussions. Give them a simple, brief explanation based on their age, remembering that their attention spans are not that long. Too much information can confuse them or will be so much that they tune out and do not understand what you are saying.

How you react to all of this is going to teach your child how to deal with loss and grief for the rest of their lives. Approach it all with love, honesty and understanding and you'll be on the right track.
