Wow. The Detective Mom is wondering how to coach her kids in empathizing with their friends whose Dad just died.
Her post came just as I’ve been finalizing a song about losing my late hubby called “The Hardest Part.” “The hardest part is to act like nothing’s wrong.”
Kids can be a bit too straightforward in these matters… or are they? “I’m sorry for your loss” sound so inauthentic to me. “I wish your dad didn’t die” sounds real.
I suggested she have them discuss what they wanted to hear when they lost something they loved or someone. But I also said I’d ask you for your advice. Thoughts?
