Subject: My first encounter with death was my grandfather and I was 11. Although it broke my heart, I felt "ready" for the scene. I had the comfort of many relatives that I loved and my grandmother gave me the option of the viewing. At that point, I knew what death meant and it was positive for me. I think children have to have a real grasp on what death is especially for a viewing.
In reply to: Cathy F. 's message, "Tough Question. I started going to Viewings and Funerals when I was 8 yrs. old. But, my 3 brothers and I were raised very strictly. Catholic school, the whole bit. I never had a problem with it nor did 2 of my brothers. My oldest brother had a very hard time with it and to this day advoids them at all cost and has raised his children the same way. I don't think that is healthy either. I guess it would depend on the child, but I don't think a child needs to be exposed to a funeral or a viewing before 10. IMHO!" on 20:09:27 06/13/12 Wed
