We've already had to have the conversation with Sam because of deaths of people close to us. He was 4 and home about a year then. If we could have put it off longer, I would have. Boys especially seem to get very preoccupied with death.
Is there a way you can get a sitter and leave the children home? It's going to be hard and her boys are going to be shell-shocked.
From everything you've said Arianna is very sensitive so she will really get what is going on, and Alex is at that age for a boy where death is something they are very curious about. He may latch on to this and hold on to it for a long time.
Just my thoughts,
Christina
