Children and Spirituality at Life's End

The idea
Adult standards of a good death do not transfer to children; treating the child as a person, clear communication and family time improve the experience.
In practice
Buddhist traditions treating altruism as lifelong preparation, and Hindu rituals hard to observe in hospitals.
Where people slip
Atheists and agnostics often see death as the end of existence, which for them makes life meaningful.
