Dying

For some reason Zoe locked onto dying tonight as she was going to bed... She cried and cried and said she was afraid of dying.... Something about remembrance day came up, about people going to war and she said she did not want to die in a war.  Then she said she was afraid of her Daddy dying in a war... "doesn't he have a military uniform? I saw it in a picture."

Wow... Hard stuff to help her process... Hard to let her talk it out... I just wanted to make it go away... But I did keep her talking until she was done... Then helped her to think of happy things...  I hope it sticks...
