framework within which they are expressed. However, culture does not provide rules on how death is experienced and viewed. Regardless of how people view death, ceremonies offer those left behind a sense of closure after the loss. Children at the age of 7-10 years experience death the hard way. They see death as final, developing hard operational thinking engaging themselves in personification. At this stage, they believe that death happens to older people, and death should not happen to their loved ones (Schladitz et al., 2021). Adults experience anxiety about death depending on how their parents feel about death. Most adults pretend to be strong while experiencing pain inside hence getting into depression, denial, and others turning their fears into drugs.
