Hi, Steve--

I posted this about 3 pages ago, but this board has been moving very fast lately.

The URL is http://www.connectforkids.org/usr_doc/CopingWithGrief.htm. They have advice for parents with kids of all ages, including infants and toddlers. How's your little sweetie? She's two, isn't she?

I just talked to one of our board members whose oldest son is in the second grade. Our community is near an airport, and he is fascinated with planes. She did her best to keep him away from the images on TV, but when they went out to play in the yard, he immediately noticed that there were no planes, and it freaked him right out. "Mommy, where are the planes? I wanna fly. Can't we fly?"

You never know how a child will be affected, but I can tell you this: they notice things we never think of.

Good luck--
Mary Anne
