DEATH AND DYING DISCUSSION FORUM

Watch the video of Joel and his parents. First address the issue of a dying child:  What steps can parents of a terminally ill child take to prepare themselves for the death of their child? What steps should be taken to prepare siblings of the child? Who should help with these preparations? Should the parents use outside resources such as counselors? If Joel was able to understand his situation, what types of information do you think should be shared with him?
