Dealing with the loss of a loved one is never easy. Our one daughter was only about 5 when my father passed away we were very sad and she came up to us and with the wisdom only a small child can have she said. "It is oaky momma grampa is not gone now he is in our hearts so he can go everywere we go and never have to leave us." Not sure that will help but it did bring us a measure of comfort.
