How to Answer Your Children’s Questions About Other People’s Families

Mommy, are you going to die soon? 

After one of my children learned that a classmate had lost a parent, they were very concerned that I was not going to make it.  I explained that I did not think that I was going to die anytime soon but that this is something that we can not predict.  I shared that this is something that no one knows and that it is something that they just should not worry about.
