Sorta OT...Explaining Death to my 5 year old and AD 3 year old?? x-posted
As you may remember we lost a friend last week...just 33 years old with 2 young sons...ages 6 & 8.  Tomorrow is the local memorial service for her. DH is just going to that...I knew Alex would never make it through. However, a mutual friend is having a get together at their home afterwords and the newly widowed DH has a video remebering Heather he is going to share with us. (I just found this out an hour or so ago or I would have prepped better.) The kids will all be there. I know Arianna will question this, a lot. I have not spoken to her about Heather dying because she hasn't seen them in about a year, when they moved out of state. She understands death but...I fear the ramifications because she will be with the boys who just lost their mom...KWIM? Seeing a friend who's mom is gone will get to her, I know the questions will come.
And Alex, as much as I want to believe he won't get it...my gut says it could impact him. Thoughts?
I know death is part of life and we do believe in God...but I am worried about the fear?!
