Thinking of ...Oh wow, this all sounds so difficult. Thinking of you and your family! There are tons of great resources online about children's understanding of death and how to support them at their developmental level. Here's a link to one good resource. http://www.childgrief.org/documents/HowtoHelp.pdf<br />Such a hard thing, and I'm sorry to hear that you're going through it.

I'm so sorry to read about your dad and...Oh no! I'm so sorry to read about your dad and the struggle to tell your girls. My dad died when B was just 2 months old, so while I never had to explain a loss to her, she often asks me where he is, and I just don't know how. I don't want to scare her, and I want to be honest, but i just can't find the right words and I end up crying. When I was teaching we had a book called "The Tenth Good Thing About Barney" and I thought it was a good way to begin to explain it. It's specifically about the death of a pet, but it's simple enough for little ones to understand, and it has no religious undertones at all.<br /><br />I hope things improve for you soon.<br />IrishNYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06812442733783210826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6091156791863995281.post-89850714824201485322014-05-29T11:15:05.886-04:002014-05-29T11:15:05.886-04:00I'm so sorry you're going through this.
