Explaining to a 3 year old
| Sat, 08-18-2007 - 10:38pm |
Oh my heavens, I knew it would be hard, but not this hard. My friend's daughter was an important part of my Magpie's life and "A's" death has left a hole. Magpie keeps asking when A is coming home and the answer, of course, is that she isn't.
Combined with that is the fact that Magpie has been running a fever for the last 26 hours.
And BRE doesn't want anyone to talk about any of it.

Oh Beth,
Oh, (((((Beth))))), life isn't fair!

Oh sweetie what a difficult time for you and your precious family. I don't know if this will help but kids are resiliant and bounce back so fast. Sometimes if we are just truthful with them, as I am sure you are, they understand more then we give them credit for, even at their young innocent stages of life. Lots of hugs and kisses and quiet time might help. Hospice may have something or someone to help with a young one in these difficult times.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your precious family. Hang tight my dear friend, you know we are all here for you.
Love ya

Hi Gail, my friend
I was thinking of you.
This is such a tragedy. My friends are devastated. We have been over every day. Right now I am scrambling to try and find a sitter for the calling hours. The whole community is going, I think...at least all my neighbors are! My cousins are going also, since they have met the family over the years. Ugh.

Life is definitely not a bowl of roses. It is so difficult for adults to deal with death, but to try to explain to children is very hard.
My prayers, thoughts and my deepest condolences go out to the family.
Much love always, Miriam
