A Time To Mourn, A Time To Be Silent, A Time To Speak

Case in point, how would I explain tragedy and grief to a 5 year old? Well, when something bad happens to someone else, it is okay for us to feel bad for and with them. To even cry, grieve, mourn. And maybe if we didn’t know them that well or at all, this is when we should choose silence so that the people who did can have a very necessary time of their own to cry, to grieve, and even heal.
