Thanks everyone> We still dont' know much.
Tonight a few of us are going to the wake...the funeral is tomorrow but I have JOnathan home so I won't go..but I need to pay my respects this evening..
We wound up telling hte boys as some kids at both schools already know and I didn't want to them to hear it from another child.
They didn't really pay a ton of attention when we told them. We said she had been sick (which she was) and that she has died, etc....and if they have any questions they can ask us. My older son ( 6 1./2) said he was most sad for her daughter who doesn't have her mommy now (BROKE MY HEART!)
my newly 5 year old didn't really get it I dont think.
So I'll jsut take their questions, if there are any, as they come. |
