I didnt know where to look or search.
I am not a parent but we experienced a big family tragedy and our 5 year old niece would need our help and support.
On wednesday morning she found her mom in the shower on the floor and had to call the neighbors for help. The funeral was on saturday, and she is doing well. She sings us song on the phone, we cant be near, my sister flew out to Russia on Friday to support my aunt.
I guess, i am seeking any advice or any link to help us help her to deal with death and what we can expect from her behavior and how to raise her with a memory of her mom. Her dad is giving her up to grandmother, he still wants to help and will be in her life, but i guess he knows that my aunt needs her niece in her life. We all want to help and support and she is such a bright child we just all want the best for her.
Any links or website would be a great help. Thank you in advance.
