I told him it;s like another place, too far away to go there, until God calls us to go. Your blog is very timely and very well done!! A.

Don't beat around the bush, but explain it on terms they might understand or grasp. <br /><br />Letting kids know exactly where a relative or loved one is, whether it be a grave site or a special cremation ash spreading place, helps kids have a place that they can go to reflect and remember a special person without giving them any false hope that the person is "just away" and might come back. Kids need the simple concrete in order to understand. <br /><br />I personally don't believe its okay to ever tell halve truths or lies to kids, even if you think its protects them in some way. Just tell them in a way they can understand and not to minimise (hopefully no) phycological trauma or damage.NicholasPRhttp://scribblepr.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
