Thanks to all those who have shared how they coped when a loved one died, I really appreciate it. I suppose to my granddaughter death is just a concept that worries her because she can’t make any sense of what happens- that goes for many others also. As I mentioned earlier I think the talk of the Queen at school and her great age has started off a train of thought in her head. I will make sure to look at all the links you have posted and check out the books mentioned. I’m sure they will be useful in the future, if or rather when, we have to tell her that a loved one has died. In the meantime, I think I will continue to use the phrase ‘some people believe that when we die we go to a place called heaven etc etc. because who really knows?
Adult early 30's - very difficult.
Last weekend, in Rutland, the first statue in Britain of the late Elizabeth II was unveiled.
