Talking to Kids about Death
Today I had to do one of the hardest things in my life, tell my 9 year old son his grandmother (My ex mother-in-law) passed away. Of course he broke down in my arms. I did the whole she's in heaven right now, but of course that was of no comfort. Although we all have to eventually deal with loss, this is his first experience. I talked to my friends and my mother (who I feel really blessed to have right now) and we all agreed there is no easy way. Has anyone dealt with this or had their grandparents of a loved one pass when you were at an early age? How did you deal?
