Day of the Dead with a childish eye

The Day of the Dead or the Day of the Holy One always draws many to the cemetery. Well, of course, this is not a celebration, but one of the saddest. For those who have lost someone who meant a lot to them, the concept and fact of death are being overestimated.

We cannot turn the wheel of fate, so the survivors will remain in mourning, accepting death, lots of crying, and reviving memories. As a child, many of us had the experience of visiting the cemeteries almost as a mandatory tour these days to visit the graves of relatives who had long since passed away, and may be remembered with flowers and candles. Of course, this is not only the way to commemorate our dead, as the quiet turning in, the lines we quote to ourselves are important, but also keeping our tombs clean and this form of commemoration.

In many cases, children go to this funeral home in the same way. Some also enjoy the funeral environment. The place where the mysterious picture is painted can only spice up the child's imagination, and the autumn landscape will only help them.

It also depends on religion, traditions and family habits how often people who live still visit the grave of the deceased. There are some who completely separate children from the concept of death, from thought, and thus from cemeteries.

Children know that there is death, that there is a sudden loss of life. Not only do they know, but they are also interested, so the atmosphere of the cemeteries is not as mournful for them as for adults. Children are interested in the story of their ancestors. Gathering around the grave and sharing stories about the deceased person also means that his memory will continue to exist in the offspring. Even in offspring who have never met each other.

Moreover, such stories can also confirm where we come from, what roots we have, who we really are. Visiting the cemeteries and visiting the grave of our dead is not necessarily about the pain, the loss. Death is a known fact for children, and it is not worth lying to them to hide it, because it would only deceive them. Rather, we need to make the children know that we do not know how long our lives will last, so we enjoy and appreciate each and every day.

The idea of death is much more painful for adults. Losing a loved one can be very painful, and the bereavement process can take us years if we can't cope with the facts. Therefore, many people are afraid to share it with their children if a family member dies. Children perceive and interpret death in their own way. It is therefore necessary to talk about passing away according to their age.
