DEATH FROM KIDS’ PERSPECTIVES
Death and dying is a subject that always is on the back burners of every mind from preschoolers to the oldest adult. Some nine-year- old children were asked what they thought of death and dying. Jim said, “When you die, they bury you in the ground and your soul goes to heaven, but your body can’t go to heaven because it’s too crowded up there already.” Judy said, “Only the good people go to heaven. The other people go where it’s hot all the time like in Florida.” John said, “Maybe I’ll die someday, but I hope I don’t die on my birthday because it’s no fun to celebrate your birthday if you’re dead.” Marsha commented, “When you die, you don’t have to do homework in heaven, unless your teacher is there too.” Good Housekeeping
