Book: Death Is Stupid, Anastasia Higginbotham
The things we don't tell our children
about death can make them think there is a terrible force in the world waiting in the darkness to snatch them away, or worse, make them think that they killed grandma
because of something they said.
Anastasia Higginbotham lays
out the problem in her book — adults want the illusion; children want the
truth.
