Question: We have a ten-year-old daughter. We need some guidance as to how to handle discussing what's going on concerning the death of a loved one.
Answer: Good question, showing a parent's wisdom and concern. I would not tell her too much unless she asks. Children have a natural and protective quality that allows them to take in only as much as they can make sense of. If she asks, direct your conversation to the spiritual. She has a Thought Adjuster and Spirit of Truth and angels to aid her in recognizing truths. Keep your answers simple. Do not show too much of your devastation in front of the child as this will confuse her, because you might say the deceased is in a better place in words to her and yet she will observe your deeds as construing the opposite emotion. Cry behind closed doors. She
will get through this, and this is an opportunity for her to learn more about the Eternal Spirit of the ascendent
children of time.
