A classmate of my daughter's was murdered by her mother yesterday. i am not quite sure how to broach it with her... i did not know anyone who died at my age as a child,let alone by the hands of a parent.
The first time i recall a classmate dying was when a guy i went to private school with killed himself over losing a girlfriend. i hadn't spoken to him in over 4 years, and went to the funeral. i wish i could remember what i thought about it at the time, given my new enlightened view of suicide.
i know, and fear, that the Land will act as though it's not a big deal, then become quiet, maybe tear up. That is how she deals with most emotional situations. Or, she will not grasp the concept of death at her young age.
