If only we can match the honesty of a child: the curious acceptance of life.Amandahttp://www.projectconnecta-gain.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7659813191322176412.post-55377155942927075102011-06-27T19:00:07.973+02:002011-06-27T19:00:07.973+02:00Good info Amanda.

Being honest, gentle, understanding and explaining it in simple terms is better than hiding the facts about death and dying or any other thing in this life.Mickeynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7659813191322176412.post-19933595790373638372011-05-26T12:53:36.123+02:002011-05-26T12:53:36.123+02:00Fiona,

Think about the obsession about youth and beauty for example. It's in a way the denial of the certainty of death. <br />Great comment, thanks.Amandahttp://www.projectconnecta-gain.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7659813191322176412.post-91679691572940719202011-05-21T22:29:02.044+02:002011-05-21T22:29:02.044+02:00Great Post Amanda.

There was a really interesting article on the radio about this the other day and someone phoned in from Ireland where they still have proper Wakes - the body is displayed and everyone, children included, goes to visit and pay their respects. There are lots of things which are taboo in our society - this is one of them. I think it's probably what contributes (in part at least) to the unhealthy obsession we have with killing - in movies, computer games etc. - my 6 yo is obsessed with death. He's never seen it up close and he so wants to understand it. Keep up the good writing. FionaFiona (aka @nlpmum)http://www.nlpmum.comnoreply@blogger.com
