Because, I...I read, and I didn't cry this time. Because, I am remembering the times I had to be around for my dad when he was frail from illness. I remember that in front of him, I am my usual self. But behind the shower curtain is where I break down and grieve. I psyched myself so much before visiting him each time. I gave him smiles and comfort touches and let him know I am strong. Knowing that a person's life is fulfilled with loved ones around should be enough. Alicia, your granny is lucky to have you around. We should give factual answers to our children when they ask. There's no need to hide the truth because this is life. *hugs* Knowing where she'll be afterlife should be a comfort for all because we know, there is no more suffering in His kingdom.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12790633373303263857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021135487628671682.post-83365685568332239252012-09-28T10:31:27.278+08:002012-09-28T10:31:27.278+08:00This is a difficult topic to start talking about t...This is a difficult topic to start talking about to the kid. <br /><br />My 3.5yo was asking me about heaven (where people go after they die) a while back as well and I had to fight hard to hold back tears trying to explain as calmly as I could.<br /><br />I couldn't blog about that sharing session as I will turn to cutting onions when I attempt to write.<br /><br />Hope you feel better.<br />NerdyMumhttp://nerdymum.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021135487628671682.post-12659083655958713672012-09-28T01:52:20.411+08:002012-09-28T01:52:20.411+08:00I'm not sure how I'll respond to questions...I'm not sure how I'll respond to questions on death. It almost seems too cruel to talk to child this young a age. But death is inevitable and knowing that her grandma will be in a better place without pain may lessen the pain. I'm sure dumpling likemyounwill have many fond memories of her grandma. Be strong.

Your grandma has walked a long way to where she is now, with so many of her loved ones with her.<br /><br />One day we'll leave too. but we'll not be forgotten.<br /><br />Take care and be strong (for your grandma) *hugz*Rachel L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12922214560141526189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021135487628671682.post-62469768374904758522012-09-27T15:30:16.740+08:002012-09-27T15:30:16.740+08:00Wow, what a traumatic encounter.

Celebrate today and live well for the Lord.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />AudreyAudrey Soonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021135487628671682.post-11303918475481843692012-09-27T14:21:52.422+08:002012-09-27T14:21:52.422+08:00You know when people act all gung ho and say that ...You know when people act all gung ho and say that they aren't afraid of death? I don't believe them.<br /><br />We may psych ourselves up for the inevitable, but nothing can really prepare us (or the people who are left in the World) for the sense of loss. How do you deal with knowing that you will never be privy to that person's laughter, company, and personality?<br /><br />That's why it's harder when you're close to that person.<br /><br />I think Death, in its various forms - is never easy, both for the one about to face the Grim Reaper, or the one who has to continue to live without the company of a living, breathing person who simply 'is'.<br /><br />I don't like hearing 'we all have to go one day' or that the spirit is still alive even though the being is gone. Yes, we all have to deal with loss at certain points in our lives, but it really isn't easy. Time may heal... but the memories will always linger.MummyMOOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02189852692346374053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021135487628671682.post-9399536296172590512012-09-27T14:16:39.203+08:002012-09-27T14:16:39.203+08:00Hi Alicia,
