Very sad that one of her classmate friends passed away a couple of days ago. He had a very weak immune support system that suddenly gave way. My ex-hub sent me an e-mail warning me that my daughter is pretty upset about her friend dying & them needing to talk about it quite a bit.

I have my daughters on the weekends. And I'm not real good at knowing age-appropriate explanations. I have a tendency to become scientific and explain too far. I don't know when to stop! So, how do I know when it's safe to change talking about death and bring up having a pow-wow on thinking up ways to remember those that we care about who have passed away? We have to get some sort of positive to help us through this tragic experience.

Anyone have any ideas or experiences to share??
