Has anyone ever had to have the sad talk of heaven with their child/children? My six year old randomly has some emotional breakdowns where he misses my grandfather and has several questions about his return and where he is and why we can't see him. Jayden was only 2 when my grandfather passed so I'm very surprised he has remembrance of him. And now, my grandmother, whom he is very very close to, is sick and only getting sicker as days go. I don't know how to go about this conversation to a point where he'll understand. 😔
there are some really nice kids books about death and heaven. maybe get a couple and they'll help explain it to him on his level?
I like that! Thank you! That seems like a very easy way for him to understand. It's sad it has to come down to this but time is only getting closer for my grandmother and he's so close to her.
I would try to make it as hopeful as you can. Like, "sometimes when a person gets really really old they reach the time where God wants them back in heaven with him. I know we will miss (insert person here), but they will be so happy and they won't have any tears or pain anymore! It's okay for us to be sad and to miss (insert name) and we can talk about them whenever you want, but remember that (insert name) would want you to be happy too!"
@itsamemario, you deleted your post before I could hit send but this is my comment: I don’t know if this answers your question but this is my answer.
My son is 7 and he knows race and color. Why? Because he himself comes from a family that is multi racial and because he has already experienced racism. I also believe as his mother it’s my job to teach him color and the cold hard truth about society. He knows what’s going on in this world. I’d be hurting him if I allowed him to blindly walk out...
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

** My unborn sons grandfather is trying to sleep with me**
My babys dads father has been messaging me telling me how beautiful i am ect. I thought it was cause he knows ive been feeling down about myself lately during my pregnancy nd was trying to make me feel better. He told me he wanted to tell me something but couldnt because it would get him into trouble. I thought it was something his son said ( my babys dad ) so i told him to tell me. He told me he cant stop thinking about my lips, how h...
I'm so scared I'm going to go through PPD, I been so sad lately and it's mainly about my 18 month old. I feel like I'm failing him as a mom because he rather go to my mom than me and he don't like to come to me as much since the baby been born. Now he has his moments where he get mad and hit at the baby , of course I pop him and tell him that's a no no and not to fight his brother. I feel like I'm failing as a mom to him sometimes.
That may do as well! Thank you!
