Quote by: Maryjane  Well, what about the big D?
I cracked open an anatomy book and showed my 6 year old how and why his father died. He accepted it. (better than I had anticpated) Was I supposed to tell him god did it? What a can of worms that would have opened! |
And what's so wrong with telling him how his father died?
Everyone has to face death so I'm sorry for your loss. I see no reason why you shouldn't be able to honestly tell your children what happened.
But why do you want to say God did it? Do you assume that all christians believe that every death is God's will?
You don't have to answer this question because it might be personal: But if your child asked "where is daddy now, is he gone forever?" what would you say?
