| How Do I Handle This? by JonTal: 9:07pm On Feb 14, 2016 |
My eldest uncle's wife died at the hospital about four months ago after she suffered a stroke when she went to the market. The burial and everything about it were done without letting the two youngest children know what has happened. After the burial my cousin(the senior daughter) called me to inform the children about what happened as she couldn't do it herself too. Unfortunately, my uncle was at home the day I visited them. I talked to him about it and he assured me that he will let them know, but he hasn't as I type this. The children I am talking about are 4 and 7 years old. They are still been lied to that their mother is at the hospital. I believe that they deserve to know the truth. What do you guys think? Thanks mightily. |

So they didn't participate in the burial? |

eightsin: No. They didn't. My uncle kept them completely away because of the pains he thought they would go through. |

Let it be so for now, might not really make any difference even to the 7yr old,they will all grow to understand .Mummy has travelled to a distant land o! |

eightsin: I believe with you about this being wrong. The only reason I know here is that he is afraid to face the children and tell them that their mother is late. |
