How to talk to Children about Death - Into the Deep

by Olivia Spears

How to talk to Children about Death

It's almost the month of the Holy Souls, so let's discuss talking about death with our children. This is something our family has been forced into, as we have had many close family members die in the past few years. My children are far more acquainted with the concept of death than I was at their age, and while I hate that in many ways, I'm also grateful in many ways. Much like childbirth, our sanitized society is so removed from the natural cycle of death that it is almost taboo. But death is a part of reality, and I'm thankful that the Church always stands as a beacon of light on the shore of Heaven to remind us that this world is not our home. So if you worry about your children learning about death, or struggle with how to appropriately discuss death with your children in a way that is developmentally healthy, here are a few things we've learned from personal experience and the professionals we've consulted along the way.   1️⃣ Normalize it (within your local community) We don't have to hide death from our children. When someone in our community passes away, we can share that information. We can bring our children to cemeteries and funeral homes. It will not scar them; on the contrary, it will help them understand the normal cycle of life and death which can help them be less fearful. *It is important to note that this is appropriate within the context of the child's relational circle. It can be quite harmful to share uninhibited news of global tragedy with a small child.   2️⃣ Let them see you grieve Another way children can learn to relate to death in a healthy way is to see you be sad about it. If a friend or family member dies, it is good for your child to see you cry and miss the person. Again, this helps form their perception of death and how to process it properly.   3️⃣ Listen, answer, pray Children may have a lot of questions about death, especially if someone close to them dies. These questions will often come at inconvenient times! But it's good to pause and listen to their hearts. Answer only what they ask about, and then offer to pray with them. Death is a mystery, and it helps to show our kids that we must always bring our hearts, questions, and sadness to Jesus when we are confronted with death.   4️⃣ Underscore everything with hope in Christ The final and most important point: always share about death in light of the Resurrection of Jesus. Death is not the end! Even in our grief we hold onto the hope of eternal life with God. This is why we pray for the dead in November! It is hope and confidence that fuels our petitions. The comfort and victory of Christ is the lens through which we can help our children view death.   A Useful Guide for Families Our Hallowtide Study is a great tool to guide the talk with your littles and direct their hearts to heaven, our eternal home. This 49-pages digital resource contains a buffet of traditional prayers, hymns, history, liturgical events, poems, art, picture books, copywork, coloring pages, activities, and handcrafts for you to pick-and-choose from.   I hope this is helpful as we continue to pray for the dearly departed in November!   Ready to dive deeper?  Here are 4 ways to fill your nets...   1.

What a fine resource for take and go enrichment. I didn't use everything provided, but I'm glad there's more there for me to use next year.

Store owner replied: Thanks for sharing your experience, Jackie. I hope our Hallowtide Unit blesses your family! We are here for you 🩵

The layout was beautiful and easy to follow the artwork and Whitney’s our treasure for our family. It’s something that suited my young toddlers as well as my middle schoolers! I appreciated it being turn key so that my husband and I could both use it with the children according to our family rhythm. We used it as part of Homeschool as well as a fun All Saints day, impromptu cookie frosting in Litany of the Saints! I’m sure it will be a continued tradition!

The perfect study! We hit our favorite activities during the three days and then went back and turned into a weeklong study. The kids thoroughly enjoyed it and were able to retell so much at the end of the week.

This study is so beautiful. It brought deeper meaning to Hallowtide and was a beautiful way for our family to learn more about the church and the season. The scripture, art, poetry, and music made the study so rich.

Hallowtide Study

Store owner replied: Thank you, Carlie! Have a blessed season! 💙

This has been a joy to dive into with my kids. Even at their young ages (2, 4, and 6) they have absorbed from what weve done and I have no doubt it will only get better in years to come!

Hallowtide Study

Store owner replied: I am SO glad! And I feel the same! The best Hallowtide. Grateful you're here!

I teach Faith Formation at St. Stephen Cathedral. I used the Hallowtide Study for my lesson on Sunday, October 27, 2024. In preparing for my lesson, I found that I was learning so much about the triduum of Hallow’s Eve, All Saints Day, and All Souls Day. I am so glad I purchased the Hallowtide Study. I have been amazed by everything I have bought from the Into the Deep team.

Hallowtide Study

Store owner replied: Jennifer, this is such a gift to us! I'm so thrilled this was helpful for faith formation. We love our parish!

I can't wait to dive into this study with my kids this year. Thank you for the great content!

Hallowtide Study

Store owner replied: I'm so glad you love it, Annie! Prayers for y'all!

Great content, but I would like the black and white versions too. That way I don’t have to use so much ink.

Hallowtide Study

This will be great fun to pick and choose from over the years, starting with my three year old who will love some of the crafts and activities. Great resource for educating our kids on the real significance of this time of year. And there isn’t too much of the fall imagery which is great as in my country (New Zealand) Hallowtide is a Spring season.

Hallowtide Study

Store owner replied: I'm so glad you're enjoying it... and yes, for many years to come! God bless you all!

Customer photo review of Hallowtide Study

I have the three main points of this Hallowtide posted in our dinning area so my children ( ages 10-18) can visually remember the reason for this time of year, and not get drawn into the secular worldview. I also have a printed list of all our dearly departed so they can each pray for them.

Hallowtide Study

Store owner replied: Beautiful! So glad you enjoyed our Hallowtide unit, Victoria.

My children and I really enjoyed the information regarding All Hallows Eve, All Saints Day and All Souls Day. It wasn’t as open and go as I thought it would be- there was a book list, decor/extras and craft supplies needed. Several of the pages were for handwriting which didn’t interest my kids and the activities were a little too young for my children. Unfortunately outside of the 3 informational pages we didn’t use most of it.

Hallowtide Study

Store owner replied: Jeramie, I am sorry our Hallowtide Study wasn't what you expected. I hope you had a rich Hallowtide nonetheless 🩵

I wanted to recieve a physical copy, and was disappointed to recieve a PDF. I wish the listing on the site made it more clear that this is exclusively digital. I haven't gone over the content yet. I'm saving it for Hollowtide! Looking forward to it.

Hallowtide Study

Store owner replied: Lena, I am so so sorry about the confusion! Thanks for your feedback. We will take care of this. I hope our Hallowtide study blesses your family.
