Whether it's a goldfish or Grandma, every child will experience a death at some point — and their parents will likely struggle to explain it.
Here's what to remember: - Be honest and concrete. The cat wasn't put to sleep, and Grandma didn't go on a long journey. - Don't overwhelm kids with too much information. They need time to process. - Make sure kids know they're still surrounded by people who will love and support them. - Don't be afraid to show emotion. - When it comes to deathbed visits or funerals, tell kids what they might see and give them a choice. - Keep the hope alive!
