Man, that sucks. I've been crying for her parents for half an hour. Their pain.   Wow, how awful!!!!!  I remember back when I was in 7th grade, there was a girl who was a year behind me (6th grade) who ran into the street after her dog. She got hit by a car, and I think she was in a coma for a couple of days. She wound up passing away, and everybody from the elementary school where I attended (Catholic school) went to her funeral. OMG, it was the saddest thing because everybody was crying. I don't think there was a dry eye in that whole church.  that is kind of nice that everyone got to go. Helps with closure for the kids I would imagine. 
My godmother's niece got killed by a bus - that is something I remember from my childhood. I remember being fascinated by the details rather than disturbed - I guess at that age you don't question your own mortality yet. | |

Definitely gave us closure, although it was hard, as you can well imagine. It's true that you don't question your own morality yet when you're little. I guess you kind of think that you'll live for a long time, and it's not necessary to think about death just yet.RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

I think that is how we should be thinking all our lives, instead of worrying too much. Our time will come when it comes. For all parents who have outlived a child, and  I can't imagine a more difficult thing. | |

ZombieKitten said: HowComeYouDontCallme said: Children can cope ( sp? ) with death better than most addults do... Just be honost.. When my stephmother died (42yrs old ) my son ( then 4 years old )saw her lying in her coffin .. I explained that she was dead, not breathing anymore... he touched her cheek.. and said "oh..Okay" grabbed his ball and resumed his game.. It's so natural for them.. Oh Charlotte...
[Edited 4/30/08 10:30am] yeah I think if the adults don't freak out about it, they will learn it is a natural thing. I cried in front of my kids, they know it made me sad. Some of Wally's classmates were crying too, so he knows it is OK to be sad. I will keep talking about her and asking about her now and then, just to give him a chance to say anything he needs to, without any pressure.
