RE: 💗 You'll Always Be Remembered
Good evening @the-gorilla I am really sorry for your loss. The memories remain forever and they are certainly something that nothing and nobody can take away from us. It is just too early for the-toddler-gorilla to understand what really happened. When he does he will have the why questions. He will keep talking about the-nanny-gorilla and keep mentioning her wondering why everybody else feels sad when he does. Based on my experience as long as you keep talking about her and what happened, this is good enough because some people just shut down and avoid the topic. Please don't as this makes it even more confusing for a child. Be strong.
When we first tried to tell him, he asked "Why?"
Then we told him she's gone to heaven to be with the-grandad-gorilla. He asked:
"Kevin the postman?"
🤷🏼♂️
Oh dear. Kids have great imagination and manage to simplify things and come up with even a reasonable explanation based on everything around them. So I guess this is to do with something he watched or picked up adults or other kids talk about. I am sending him a virtual hug.
