I am struggling with the idea of telling my 5 year old about her 9 year old cousin dying in an accident. She loved him and was pretty close to him. We have had the death discussion before when her great great grandfather died, and she has asked questions here and there about it ever since.

My main worry is that I don’t want her thinking that it can or will happen to her right now. She understands that with her grandfather, he died because he was old and it’s a natural part of life. But the circumstances are different and this was not natural.

Lying to her doesn’t feel like the right move either. What do I do?

I know this is kinda parasocial to ask but I really hope his son is okay. I remember reading something saying he was acting up after his father died . Dolph affected a lot of people and I can’t imagine how devastating it is to lose your father in that way. Especially if your dad js fucking young Dolph. Hope his family is doing okay
