A Child's Pain

At Dad's funeral, Julien cries for his Grandpa,
the man he affectionately called "jiji."

Though only a young boy, JuJu is now old enough
to comprehend the finality of death. It was hard
to see a child learn one of life's most painful
lessons at such a young age.

A heart rending image, Sam. A truly great man will be much loved which will cause great pain at the separation. A worthy tribute my friend. ~V~

Sam this brought tears to me eyes. Nothing as raw as grief we all know.

This was the hardest experience for me after letting Dad go. Ellie was especially impacted. Many tend to brush it off at their young age but it is clear that they are engaged and comprehending. This is powerful Sam. I continue to applaud your sharing. I too believe (know) that it is an intricate part of the healing process.
