It's so sad to hear of someone losing their llife when they have really just reached adulthood. This "don't drink and drive" slogan has been drilled in people of this generation so much that you would think this would be a rare occurence, but you hear of it every day.
Very sad. My condolences to you, her family and the survivors.
So how exactly DO I explain to a 7 year old why her favorite babysitter won't be around anymore? This kept me up all night. Really makes you think.
You simply tell her she died. I remember when my grandfather died. I was incredibly sad. I was 17 I think. When my younger cousins were told, they didn't seem nearly as upset as anyone else.
Childred are attached, but the younger they are, they less it is. They get over it sooner. The people it's hardest for are the ones that have known them the longest.
Yuck Jim, very awful indeed. My opinion is that you tell your daughter the truth, she's old enough, they are resilient. Also, never to young to advocate against drunk driving...
