How do I comfort my 3yr old daughter from sibling passing?

[queenamy]

It's only been a couple days since her sister passed away. She wasnt there, she didnt see it. Was with family.

Now shes home and the first night she woke up crying inconsolably.

We comforted her the only way we knew.. hug and tell her everything will be okay.

But we passed it off as maybe she had a bad dream.

Well today shes looking for movies via the xbox and she just gets very upset, we ask her whats wrong and she starts the same crying again, like a very painful cry. We asked her what's wrong. and she replied she missed her sister..

We showed her a few videos of her sister on the cell phone which calmed her down.

I'm so scared and not sure how to help my 3yr old daughter deal with this huge tragic event

  I am so sorry. I have no advise for your situation but here is a bump and maybe someone else will

 Just let her know that everything is okay. That her sister isnt hurting anymore. If your Christian maybe explain to her that her sister is with Jesus now & that she'll be looking out for you guys.

OMG poor baby

Gawd, I'm sorry....lots of prayers your way.

I would just focus on the good things and talk about how much fun you guys will all have in heaven together. How special she was to come to this earth and give you guys all so much love. And how she can move freely and without any health issues in heaven and you guys can all cuddle and hug and talk and have fun all day and it's just to think about how it will be when you can meet her again. And then also talk about how she is watching over your family now and tell your daughter that she can just look up and talk to her any old time she wants.

So sorry for your loss mama. I don't have any words of wisdom but I'll give you a bump in hopes that somebody else does. =[

I have never delt with anything like that so I dont have anything, but I am so sorry for your loss. You  are in my thought and prayers.

I'm so sorry. I would check into some books and/or videos that you can read/watch together. I'm pretty sure there are some out there that deal with the loss of a sibling. Also, have you thought about family counseling? I don't know what to say, so once again, I'm just going to send some (((HUGS))) your way....

Hun, a 3 yr old is so young, all they know is loss.  The only thing that could heal her loss is time. She is going to act out, act up and be at a loss. Just as you and your husband will. Just hold on to your love for each other threw this time. Try to be supportive of each others grief. But don't forget to keep living in today, and for tomorrow. Death of a young child is so unfair and unkind. So very hard. Just hold on to your love. That is the best advise I can give you threw this time.  God bless your hearts.

I have no advice. I just want to send you and your family e-hugs. I really feel for you.
