Last night we got a call from my oldest son's school ,(he's 6 and in the first grade) they do an automated message for different things. This was not a good one, one of my son's classmates and also school play buddy (Daniel) had a siezure and died. He was in the after school program and this happened at school. 7yrs old

I can not even imagine what his parents and family are going through. I still tear up thinking about it, it's pulled at my heart all day. My son used to talk about playing pirates with Daniel during recess.

There are many folks who need your prayers, Family, school teachers, first responders and his friends.

Thanks for reading!

It's hard to believe that someone so young could die like that. It must be horrible for his parents and family. Smoke and prayers from So Cal.
 
Well we went to the funeral home tonight. I was hard to do but my son wanted to go so I made sure we could get there. It was very sad, it puts your life in check pretty quick.
 
That's some pretty heavy stuff to have to deal with at 6. I'd get a library book on the issue, or talk to a therapist with experience in similar situations. I don't have any other advice to offer unfortunately. Couldn't say whether it'd be better to sweep it under and hope he moves on with little impact, or to encourage discussion. Too much or too little information for him is likely going to be a problem.

good luck with this challenge. You'll all come through okay in the end, I'm sure.

Grab your Son at every opportunity and hug him until he asks you to let him go. Nothing will out do the feeling of being safe and loved.

Stump..

You are a good Dad to do this for your son. Many parents would try and shield thier kids from the raw grief. But he needs to see it for closure. Our kids when they were your sons age also had a friend die of a brain tumor.

my prayers go out for that family and your son ..
 
Prayer for you and yours. Remember we will all be together in another place;. Life is a river that flows into the sea and returns with the tide.
 
That is a terrible thing to happen for a family--to lose a child.

I think that you are doing the right thing by not ignoring it letting your son know what happened. It isn't easy, but it's reality. Best of luck working through everything with him.
 
That is a tough one. Prayers sent. I can not even begin to imagine what Daniel's parents are going through!
 
My condolences to the faimily and all their friends. You did good taking your son to the funeral. He wouldn't be able to just forget him, and this way he got to say goodbye, ands to see everyone else taking this seriously.
