Poor kid.
Tell her Uncle Nully says that sometimes unfair things happen, no matter how hard we try to stop them. It’s important that we pause to cry and mourn, but it’s also important that we continue trying to keep the world as fair and just as we can.
We owe that to the innocents who have been injured, to ourselves, and to our descendants.
Tell her he Uncle Nully is proud of her for being one who feels enough to mourn, and that that love and empathy she feels is proof positive of her good heart.
Thank you, I will. :) Like all of us, she has fallen in love with the characters of this book. We’ve discussed the good vs. evil theme, so she understands that sometimes bad things happen to good people because of evil, but it still is hard to deal with, she’s only 11 so she hasn’t had to experience too many real hard lessons yet. (Thankfully, not everyone is blessed.)
