Oh Gigi! I've just seen your initial post! How unsettling, worrying, sickening, plus so much more.
I felt a huge sense of reassurance that you've already sought professional help from outside.
Until then, if this was me and my DD, i'd make a bigger effort at home (and I know you make a super HUGE effort with Bilby anyway ) to google 'positive, self affirming tasks for children' or other activities that focus on the 'All about Me' side of her. I will also hunt for some enriching activities later and pass them on to you.
A bit about me. At the age of 7 years, I also fantasised the same morbid thoughts, not because I desired to die, but I *think* because I was so aware of immortality at such a young age. I used to imagine 'how' I would do die, the circumstances behind my death, and other people's reactionsto my death etc It is very morbid. As a young child, I would also draw images of my grave & write eulogies! I was sent to a psych, again. It was put down to a death in my family, that I had struggled to cope with and understand.
I suppose what i'm trying to say is, the idea has come to her from somewhere, and she is perhaps exploring the notion of immortality also.
Let me know how you go, and I will send some activites through soon xx
