Explaining Cremation to young children.
I've been struggling to find ways to explain to Natalie where her little brother's body is. We recently talked about gravestones, as we quietly meandered through the Spanish moss covered cemeteries of historical Charleston last month. But when she asks me, "Mommy, where is Pi's gravestone? Is he in a cemetery too?," I have not had answers for her. I didn't think there was a delicate way to explain cremation, as the mere concept of what's involved is quite frightening, especially to a child. After reading this article, I now feel comfortable in what I will tell her next time she asks.
