THE LOSS OF A RELATIVE

OR CLOSE FRIEND

This can be a very hard topic to discuss with your child especially if they were very close to the person.  Any questions they have you should answer truthfully.  Grandma just couldn't breathe on her own anymore and she is resting peacefully up in heaven with Grandpa.  We have all those special pictures of her and memories to keep.  Make them feel as comfortable as possible telling them that if anything is bothering them to come and discuss it with Mommy and Daddy.
