Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
I actually had these neighbors who lived a couple houses down. The father hung himself in their shed and his son (6 years old) found him. Anytime this little boy hung out withmy little sister, i felt nervous about it. I didnt want my sister to accidently say something to hurt his feelings but i also didnt want him to say something to traumatize my sister. But..things worked out fine. We talked to my sister ahead of time and let her know what happened and gave her some ideas on what to say if he mentions anything. Well one day he said something about it and my sister clmy told him (she was 8 at the time) that his father chose to be with God so God would take care of him. She told him that he is in Heaven and not too worry. They ended up being very close. My advice to you is..if he wants to talk about it, than talk about it. It will make him feel better. And yes, he probaly is more mature because of it. Not many 8 year olds go through what he has. If you are afraid of upsetting him, than just remember to always be positive. Some people don't believe that people who commit suicide will go to heaven, but i believe that if something pushes someone so far as to kill themself, then God will be right there to catch that person when they fall and to take care of them because they couldnt do it themself. Make sure to remind him that is father is with God. Time will heal his pain. Just be there for him. If you need anymore help, please let me know. I'm here for you.
