I was five when my father died. I adored my father. I think it is necessary to process death and loss at our own speed and in our own time. Especially the very young. I distrust the notion that it can be handled, tucked away. Loss is an ongoing process. It can take a lifetime. You are helping your nephew by giving him your support and allowing him to talk openly about his experience and understanding of these events.

Beautifully written reflection on a painful subject. I'm so sorry for what you and your family is going through. *Hugs*
