But at 8, a child obviously does not know how to handle this fact of life. I feel for you dear.nmahahttp://www.morethanjustmummy.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27598861.post-49224661988550643372010-11-24T00:16:59.285-06:002010-11-24T00:16:59.285-06:00Poor kiddo.

It's good that you guys are talking about it though.<br /><br />We were reading a Thanksgiving story and it said that a pilgrim died on the Mayflower, and Noah just fixated on that. I had to try my darndest to distract him with something else. I know that I can't sugarcoat everything forever, but maybe at least for a couple more years, I hope.Kelli @ writing the waveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06529137162073950732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27598861.post-67195154208033015612010-11-23T17:19:50.262-06:002010-11-23T17:19:50.262-06:00Uh that was dread these conversations.

I dream these convers...Aw friend, I'm so sorry. I dream these conversations. It's definitely the age. My oldest has some of the same issues. What happens to us if you die? Where do we go? Who do we live with? What about this and this and this. Sigh.<br /><br />With her, I try not to have the conversations at night, because then she doesn't sleep. My six year old on the other hand likes to talk at night, all snuggled up in bed in the dark. <br /><br />I think each kid reacts differently and at different times. You know what I thought when I read that you were on the road? Sing. When I can't pull over and one of my kids is crying, I sing. Songs that I sang them as newborns. Songs that they love. I sing. <br /><br />Hugs friend. I hope you all have a great holiday.Issahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309906249557761472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27598861.post-29886330881723097652010-11-23T11:29:29.370-06:002010-11-23T11:29:29.370-06:00Okay. It's time for the little white lie. Yo...Okay. It's time for the little white lie. You tell him that Mommy and Daddy ain't dyin' anytime soon. You PROMISE him you're going to be there for everything that happens up to and including the day he has a child of his own. And the reason is because you love him and Daddy loves him and nobody ain't goin' nowhere. Period.<br /><br />If there is ANYTHING that boy needs to believe in - it's you and Patrick. So you gotta pinky swear.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13024392628362568010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27598861.post-83592550787195431042010-11-23T10:24:38.266-06:002010-11-23T10:24:38.266-06:00I remember being 9 and watching All Dogs Go to Hea...I remember being 9 and watching All Dogs Go to Heaven at the theater. That was the first time I really understood that everyone dies, and like Evan I had a really hard time sleeping for weeks. It's good that he's been able to tell you what's been bothering him (I don't think that I ever told my parents). Other than love and time, I don't know what else there is that can comfort a kid in that realization. It sounds like you're doing a great job.Lisahttp://aprocot.etsy.comnoreply@blogger.com
