[quote=Anonymous]You must tell the children. What you tell them will be determined by your beliefs and their ages and maturity. But they must know that she didn’t just disappear. You sound like a wonderful, sensitive mom and you will do a good job of this.

You and your children were a blessing to this woman as you shared her journey thru life. She must have also been a blessing to your family and that you will miss her now that she is no longer here. Let your children know how thankful you are for that relationship. You might find some tangible way to honor her life that would have meaning for you and the children and maybe bless her family.

Also let them know how thankful you are for life but that it doesn’t go on forever here on earth. I am not sure of your belief regarding death so I will share mine. I do not believe that this life is all that there is to our existence. I believe that at the time of death we either go to heaven or hell as determined by our decision to accept or reject salvation thru Jesus Christ, as per the gospel of the Bible. I believe that we have hope of everlasting life with the Father in heaven if we have accepted Jesus as our Savior.
