my older sister died this morning my mum and step dad still arent home
and my 14 year old brother has gone for a walk

so im left with my little sister and little brother
and my sister is asking me why my other sister isnt coming home and i dont know what to say because whatever i say to her im going to burst into tears and i dont want to make her cry so how do i explain it to her
my mums said to just say that shes gone to see the angels and stuff and tell her that are mate up there is looking after her but believe me thats easier tthan it sounds

If she's six, no matter what you tell her, she's not going to understand. Children cannot understand the concept of death.

I guess its better just to explain whats happened now, she will understand it later, and it saves more heartbreak for you. Maybe by seeing you cry, it will help her understand that grieving is a natural process, and it is fine for her to cry aswell.
I hope you and your family make it through, my thoughts are with you all.

Maybe try to explain what happend. Even though they are younger and they are your family they have every right to now. Maybe just say what happend in a way that doesnt seem so bad.

She's upset because she doesn't understand. Without the ability to abstract, you cannot truly understand death. I'm not saying she's not smart. I'm saying because of her age, psychologically she is not capable of understanding death.

i would definately just explain it to her because if you say it now then if she understands it and must have time to grieve then you all can do it together whereas if you just leave it alone she will probably keep asking questions making it harder for both of you
