[QUOTE="stepmonster, post: 72226, member: 101"] I also went through it with easy child. She was about the same age. Several people we knew passed including a neighbor man that lived across the street. Five year olds don't really get it, so they make up their own way. Mine manifested in anger at me. She kept telling me she was going to run away. She didn't really even know that concept either. A friend who is an LICSW told me it's just because she knows that her anger can come out in front of me and I'm not going anywhere. I am also in the camp of telling her closer to the time you would see the family and keep the info to a minimum. If you have trouble the local hospice has coloring books and stuff like that too. I do know a lady who obsessively reminded her five year old of how her friend died in a train accident. I believe that if the woman had stopped reminding the girl over and over it would have been easier for the child. She still does it today and the girl is 16. {{{{hugs}}}}} [/QUOTE]
