Nobody close to her died, she would just hear about it in conversation and started asking questions. She sometimes gets upset asking about when she will die :( we just say we don't know, we are here to keep her safe, usually people live very log lives. Sometimes I just say "I wonder..." and see if she maybe already has another thought she wants to share </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-asks-about-death#post-2643955 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 18:01:35 +0000 PinkElephant 2643955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Today my 4 year old was crying out of nowhere and said she didn't want her baby sister to die. Chilled me to the bone - I have no idea what provoked it. I talked about how we are all here to protect her and be sure she's with us for a long time - but I felt like it was bad karma to make her a blanket promise that no harm will ever come to the ones she loves. </p> <p>Further exploration of the topic brought out a story about a monster with keys to our house....no idea how she came up with that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-asks-about-death#post-2643889 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 16:30:40 +0000 travelgirl1 2643889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A lot these days after DH's uncle died a few months ago. She also says she wants us to die at the same time, so so sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-asks-about-death#post-2643742 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 15:14:02 +0000 Boogs 2643742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My oldest randomly asked me last night when I would pass away. He said he never wants me to, and it made me so sad! I know it's inevitable, but I told him hopefully not for a very long time. </p> <p>Do your LOs ever ask serious questions like those about death? </p>
