It’s important for children to feel they can talk about it.

Pediatric psychologist Nancy Frumer Styron discusses the importance of children knowing they can talk about their end-of-life. Older children may have a sense of what they want for their end-of-life and arrangements. A counselor can help parents and the child have these difficult but critical conversations. A child has the right to know and talk and share, even as it is heart breaking.
