Should Children Attend Funerals?
Death; it is the only certain thing in life. Everything dies. Humans deal with death differently from any other species. We grieve for our loss and for the loss of others. But what about children; how do they handle death?
Even the youngest child has had to face the death of a goldfish or other pet. Parents explain that the pet has "gone to Heaven", "gone to be with Jesus" or some other easy to grasp explanation of why it will never come back again. Children, however, have no concept of death. To them it is like watching a cartoon or other television show where the hero is dead one minute and then comes back alive. To children this is how it works for everything.
When a family member dies it is difficult for a child to understand what has happened. They might grasp that "Grandma Rose" isn't going to be coming back but they won't grasp the reason. If the child is old enough to really miss the person who has died, he/she is old enough for you to talk with about the funeral and what will happen there. You should try to explain what will happen as simply and succinctly as possible. If your family goes to church it may be easier since death is discussed at an early age in Sunday School. If your minister visits your house you can ask him to speak with your child, too.
As you try to explain what is about to occur, you might start by asking the child what he thinks happens when someone dies. Listen carefully and try to explain it in as simple a fashion as possible. "Grandma Rose has been very sick. You know she has been in the hospital for a long time. Last night she died. She won't be sick anymore. She will not hurt any more. We are sad that she is not with us anymore but (here religion can come into play) now she is in Heaven with Grandpa Tom and Jesus. It is alright to be sad and even a little mad that she isn't going to be with us anymore. It is alright if you want to cry; I have been crying, too." It is here that you have to be certain you don't talk down to the child. Children are a lot smarter than we give them credit for being. They instinctively know if we adults are hiding something from them or not being honest. As soon as you think they understand about the death of the person, you can start to explain about the funeral. "Do you want to come with us to the funeral home to take Grandma Rose's clothes that she will be buried in?" If the child says yes, you might as well ask "would you like to help us pick out the casket?" or "Will you help me pick out a hymn that Grandma Rose would have liked?" or read a passage from the Bible and ask "do you think this is the one Grandma Rose would have wanted read?" Sometimes children like to put something special into the casket for their loved one to have with them; a friend's child chose to put her favorite stuffed animal in with her grandmother. Some older children like to include a letter or a photo. Whatever will make the child feel better is appropriate. Do not worry about what anyone else thinks.
It is a good idea to take the child by the cemetery where the burial will take place so that he/she can see where Grandma Rose's grave will be. Explain that at a later time a stone will be added with her name and age on it to mark the site. You can tell him/her that there will be lots of flowers to decorate the grave as symbols of respect and love. Then explain that those who watch the burial will be there to say good-bye.
Do not force the child to view the body. The child will let you know if he/she wants to do this. If he/she does, explain that what he/she is seeing is just a shell; the body only. Grandma Rose has left her body and her soul has gone on its next journey. The person he/she knew is not in the casket; that is just a shell that has dropped away.
If the child does not want to go to the funeral, do not make him/her go. Arrange for him/her to stay with a friend. If you are worried that he/she might regret this later, you can arrange for a video to be done for them to see at a later time. Photographs should also be available as well as the guest book which is normal to find at a funeral.
If your child does want to attend the funeral ask someone to be available to take the child outside if he/she becomes too upset to stay. It is alright for the child to cry. Plenty of adults will be doing the same thing. The child should be aware that crying and being upset is normal when someone dies.
Ultimately, whether or not your child should (or will) attend the funeral is your decision. The first funeral he/she attends will have a profound affect on the child if not handled correctly. I, personally, do not believe children should attend funerals of people who are not close friends or closely related. This would be a needless trauma. Having established that the funeral is for a close friend or relative, the adult should make arrangements for another adult who is well known to the child to be present as a sort of "buddy" for the child. This adult will remove the child from the situation if he/she becomes too upset. This adult can also take control and see that the child is fed something and has something to drink. This adult can be there emotionally to answer questions the child may have when you, overcome with your own grief, will be unable to do this. Whatever you decide, do not let your child go through this alone.

Sympathy Words - Writing Words of Sympathy and Comfort
It's never easy to lose someone you love. It's even harder when someone you know loses someone they love. We go to the funeral home, attend the wake and meet people we haven't seen in a while. It is during this time that we say sympathy words and do things that are meant to comfort those who are grieving. Some people are not able to attend any kind of gathering, and may instead choose to put their thoughts and wishes of comfort into a sympathy letter or card.
Writing Sympathy Words is Not as Difficult as You May Think.
All it takes is a little empathy and some reflection. Chances are pretty good that you knew the deceased at least well enough to have had some good memories involving that person. After their passing, it is often comforting to others to hear or read about these happy times.
Another important thing to keep in mind when you are writing sympathy words and condolence letters is to be sympathetic. People suffering the emotional pain associated with the loss of a loved one need to know that someone else is hurting the same way. In order to find the right words, imagine yourself in their situation and try to imagine how they must feel.
Definitely don't try to pretty up your letter too much. So many people think that it will help someone to read flowery and over descriptive language, but going overboard with that kind of style can come off as a bit insincere.
Keep Your Sympathy Words Simple
A lengthy letter or card can discourage a grieving person from reading the whole thing. Reading a long letter takes energy, and nobody really wants to spend that kind of effort to read a lengthy letter while crying. Instead of writing a lot of words, try choosing a few sympathy words wisely. You can communicate a vast amount of information with a simple sentence or two about how you will miss the deceased and will always remember the good times that you shared together.
Don't forget to mention that happy memory of the person. Mention how that person affected you in life and what his or her death means to you. Family and friends of the deceased like to hear about how that person affected or changed someone else's life, hopefully for the better. Use positive words to describe that person or their personality, such as devoted, faithful, patient, or kind.
Of course, you know that when someone is grieving, they must do it in their own way. Don't offer them unhelpful advice like 'Keep your chin up'. That's the last thing anybody wants to hear at a time like this. Aside from being the wrong thing to say, they probably will have heard it several dozen times anyway, so it can actually end up sounding a bit contrived.
When Offering Your Sympathy, Words May Not Always Be Enough
Offering help of some sort is also useful. Many grieving family members simply doing household chores can be more difficult than normal. Offer to make dinner, go to the store with them, or help out with yard work. They will appreciate the extra help while they are going through this difficult time.
Finding the right way to express words of sympathy in a letter can be easy, but writing words for the sake of writing words can actually be harmful. Remember that the person you are writing to is grieving, and they don't want to hear or read certain things. They've heard it all before from countless others, so you'll need to be sincere in offering your condolences. No sympathy words can truly take the pain of a loss away, but finding the right ones can let someone know that you are thinking of them and you know how they're feeling. Even if you don

Indoor Or Outdoor Cats?
Getting a cat can be an exciting thing. Everyone wants to see their cat happy, and so many owners feel it is unfair to keep their cat cooped up indoors. Allowing your cat free reign of the neighborhood can seem like a kindly thing to do, especially when your cat always seems to find its way back home at night. However, there are some dangers associated with letting your cat roam free that you must consider before making the choice as to whether your cat will be an indoor cat or an outdoor cat.
Cats seem agile and capable of defending themselves against many predators. However, it is important to remember that cats are animals that don't necessarily understand the human world. If you live in a high traffic area, this can spell disaster for even the smartest of cat. Cats can run in the street and cars may be paying inadequate attention. This can result in the loss of your beloved furry friend, and you'll have little to offer your pet but a cat urn or a pet memorial stone to honor its memory. Even in areas without a lot of traffic, it can be difficult for your cat to know when the lone car may find its way down the street and into your neighborhood. While it may seem kind to allow your cat to go out to play or hunt or do other cat things, consider whether it is worth the risk that you may end up purchasing a pet headstone early.
Predators are another factor. If you live in the country and have no cars around your home, it may seem as though there is no reason not to let your cat run free. However, remember that there may be some natural predators in your area that a cat might not be able to tangle with. Also remember that if you do plan to allow your cat to be an outdoor cat, it is imperative that you not declaw your cat and that you provide your cat with lots of scratching posts and other materials to sharpen his claws. A cats only line of defense against a predator is his claws, so if you are sending your cat out into the world, you'll want to make sure its claws are in tiptop shape.
Finally, remember that your cat is a hunter. This means that your cat may kill other small animals such as bunnies, mice, or even bats, and bring them home. In addition to it being somewhat unpleasant to come home and find a dead bat on the kitchen floor, this habit can also put your cat at risk. Bats may have rabies or other diseases that your cat could catch by killing its prey. Even a mouse could be dangerous if a mouse found its way into some rat poison or other pest-control product that people may leave around and then was eaten by your cat.
With all these risks, consider whether it is really the kindest thing to do to allow your pet to roam free. Your kitty can have plenty of fun and exercise inside your house with cat toys, wind-up mice, and a human friend by its side, and do so without risk.

Gravestone Marker
People have pretty much always buried their dead in one way or another. They have also used some kind of marker to identify the gravesite. Sometimes just a simple cross is laid on top of the tombstone and others may place elaborate drawings and stones. When you go visit an old cemetery, you see gravestone markers from before the civil war and may be amazed. Some of them are so well preserved. The old gravestones are all about the same shape and size sometimes this differs with cultures or religion and of course economic status.
But now gravestones are about as different from one another as people are. You can have life size statues of angels and benches and even pictures of the deceased either carved in or placed into the gravestone. Sometimes there are vases attached so that there can be fresh flowers. Really whatever you want as a memorial to your loved one can just about be done.
Not only do people say the normal stuff like born - died and who they were but sometimes now they have poems and even how they died. Sometimes people even add small things that were special to the deceased. Most of us have heard about the famous gravestone that said see I told you I was sick. So when you have to choose a gravestone for someone. Think about what kind of person they were. What really mattered in life to them? If you think about these things it will not be hard to choose what kind of gravestone they should have.

Gravestone Memorial Marker
When people pre-plan their funeral, they sometimes go ahead and have the gravestone picked out and put in place with their names engraved and date of their birth. This would be a good way of ensuring that you get the kind of headstone that you want. This seems to most common with family plots.
If you have a family member or close friend pass away and they have not made arrangements ahead of time. Then it might fall to you to make the decision about what kind of headstone that they will have. There are many choices available. Sometimes people choose a stone bench sometimes both a bench and a headstone that kind of match. It is even possible to have your loved ones picture carved into the headstone.
It is not a pleasant thing to have to consider someone's gravestone or your own for that matter. But sometimes we have to take care of these details. The funeral home director is a good source of information about headstones. Also they can help you to decide on the grave yard. Sometimes certain grave yards have rules about what kind of headstones are allowed.
So you will want to make sure that you have all of the details from the graveyard before choosing the headstone. Also feel free to walk around the graveyard that you will be using to get some ideas about what others have chosen to use for their loved ones. Just remember that the funeral home and the graveyard will be very happy to answer any questions you might have.
