The Understanding of Death
Death is the natural thing that happens to all living things. Everybody reacts to the loss of someone they love or care about. However, at different ages people react differently when somebody dies. For a child to understand death, the concept of death has to be formed in a child’s mind. The concept of death means that death is universal, inevitable, irreversible, and that there is no physical existence after death. The whole concept of death is being developed in a human being through the time and consequently the complete understanding of this concept depends on personal development.
