How To Explain The Death Of Your Child To Your Other Children

How do I explain the death of our child to our other children?

In explaining death to your other children, you want to do it in a group, but you also want to do it individually because they're going to be different ages, and you'll want to explain it differently for the different ages. Also tell them that their brothers and sisters are going to feel differently about this loss, and that they probably also had different feelings about the loss. Also to help them understand, they may have been angry with the sibling, they may have been upset with the sibling, and tell them that did not cause the death. And to explain to them that all kids get mad at each other and play with each other, and to help them not to have a sense of guilt about things they were doing in normal play.
