[snugs]

I think that is a very healthy thing to do to show young children that death is not remote and far removed from them that it can affect them. So often nowadays it is kept away from the children which makes it even harder when a loved one or a pet does die.

I grew up on a farm with animals that died and some were slaughtered so I knew they died. And I guess I was not sheltered. When somebody died I always knew about it. I can’t believe how now kids are shielded from the fact that a parent has lost their job or whatever. I never lived in a jar of cotton balls like that.
