[quote=Anonymous]They won't be nearly as sad as you think. As they grow older they'll recognize it's something that makes you sad and they'll acknowledge that loss (or say things like they wished they knew so-and-so) but it's a lot more matter-of-fact and won't be nearly the grief that you feel. Talk about your mom whenever you want to. My kids love hearing stories about my parents and also love to hear stories about me as a kid going through the same things they are (like getting in trouble). I show mine pictures and tell anecdotes, and try to make them real for my kids. My kids are 8 and 10 and sadly only have one living grandparent.[/quote]
