Explaining Death to Kids
Well about 2 years ago now My Grandfather died, He was a really nice man and he was suffering in a lot of pain the last twelve months so I am glad he found his peace.

Well we did not know how to tell my 5 year old neice at the time that Great Grand Pa was dead and we could not say nothing as we visit quite often.

So we sat her down and said that we would not see him any more and that he had died etc. I feel being honest is the best policy with kids..

Well a few hours passed of normal play and dinner and it came time to go home. We walked outside to put her in the car and she looked up at the sky and waved and said "Good Night Great Grand pa" And then turned round and said he is with Jesus.

I have to say we were all a little amazed / shocked and it even gave me a few tears in my eyes.

Kidz Ay !
