How to tell a 6yr old brother has passed?

[HomeStyleMumma]

Close friends of ours had a late term stillbirth (it was from a known defect and they were prepared) and after the birth they used photos of the baby to get a 'real baby doll' made as a memorial of sorts so the other children could have something visual to remember their brother by. It's obviously not going to be for everyone but maybe something they would want to look into?

Oh honey, I'm so sorry, my thoughts are with you and your sister / nephew.

So sorry to hear of your family loss. Open and honest is best as others have allready said.

I 2nd contacting Heartfelt is your sister is open to the idea as there photos are amazing and a great memory.

Hugs and love xoox

I agree to be honest, but it also depends on the maturity of the child.. You don't want the child to think he's going to die if he becomes sick.. I am so sorry to hear of your family's loss. My thoughts are with you
