Let Children Grieve—Not having a long enough time to grief and frustration after a death in the family can leave a child with deep psychological scars for the rest of his life. Ex- tension family life specialists at The Pennsylvania State Uni- versity, urge you to let your child express his feelings at the time of death and for as long afterward as it takes him to re- turn to normal. Be willing to talk about the person who died. Show that you have feeling of sorrow, too. And don’t curb your child’s expression of his feelings by saying, “Keep a stiff upper lip,” or ‘‘big boys don’t cry,” or ‘your father wouldn’t want to see his little man with tears in his eyes.” A child needs to grieve over the death of a loved one. ~ It Pays To Advertise bration and announces that Gwen Jenkins will serve as pianist, Greg Moye will be narrator, and Linda Overman will be soloist.
