How young in YOUR opinion, should a child be when explaining demise or death? And what would you say.....In my OPINION, I think it should be as early as they can comprehend the subject. Especially, if a parent or caregiver is ill. They are a lot sharper than we give them credit for. It is a part of life that we all will experience. I think the younger the better. Kids are still connected to God, when because of life situations causes us to get disconnected from Him...oh by the way, I'm not interested in what you call YOUR God...that's none of my business....Please Share .
