I have a five year old daughter, who ALREADY has a VERY STRANGE obsession with death. She has lost a friend before who was very sick and simply could not make it. That she dealt with pretty good, but I remember it SPARKED her death obsession even MORE. Well, NOW she has lost another friend to a TRULY TRAGIC incident (I won't even describe here because it is TOO truly horrifying that it would make everyone cry, and I don't want to do that). Anyway, since this is a friend she only sees every couple of months (the son of a dear friend of my parents), I am trying to decide if I should tell her about her friend, or if she is young enough she would never know the difference if she DIDN'T see him again. But at the same time, I would NOT want to take a chance that we run into the family or she run into them while she is with my parents, and start asking questions, becuase it will be a VERY VERY long time before the family is going to be recovered enough to answer questions, especially those coming from a 5 year old.....
I don't want to get this death obsession any more fuel than it has already, do you think I am justified in NOT telling her?????
