[quote=Anonymous]A first cousin of mine died by what we all assume at this point is suicide. She has been troubled for many years and we were not close. My child would see her one or twice a year at family events, but they never really interacted much. My child will not even notice that she stopped showing up. I will be traveling for the funeral, but I am tempted to not discuss the situation with my child. I feel it will cause unnecessary trauma. On the other hand, death is an important part of life and my child does interact with my cousin’s siblings. I’m sure the death will be discussed at future family events. What would you do in this situation?[/quote]
