Scenario

When your young child plays death games

My four-year-old keeps playing funeral with her dolls and making them die over and over and it's disturbing to watch.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Repetitive death play becomes a child's way of processing incomprehensible loss while triggering a parent's discomfort with their child's dark preoccupations.
