Preparing a Child to Visit a Dying Loved One

There is a question that often surfaces in the hospice environment:   How much should we involve children in dying process family members?  And that leads to another eventual question - at what age is it appropriate for children to attend funerals? Family members struggle with both of these questions.  And different cultures in our world address the topics from opposite perspectives.  How do you know what is right for the children in your life as a loved one approaches death?  Find out more in this week's Changing Lives podcast.
