Boy hugs his mother’s coffin

How to help a child understand death?

This story is a reminder of how difficult it is to explain death to young children. Rather than avoiding the subject, it is essential to use simple, soothing words. Comparing death to a star that always shines, even if it is far away, can help them understand this reality.

Rituals, such as lighting a candle or recalling memories, also help to make the loss more tangible and provide relief. In these painful times, love and support remain the best guides.

Khayne’s story is a powerful reminder that even in the deepest pain, human kindness can illuminate the darkness.
