Artist Liu Zhen died on March 22. Since Liu Zhen went to hospital in early February to undergo aortic valve replacement surgery, the outside world has been in solidarity and prays that she will be able to tide over this difficult situation. Meanwhile, her husband, Xin Long, also wrote back and forth on Facebook:

"Liu Zhen needs everyone to help her through the great difficulties of life, I Xinlong is willing to use their own life for Liu real life, because the daughter is only four years old can have no father, but can not be without mother....

When I put the voice of my daughter recorded on my cell phone in her ear, i said, "Mommy gets better and take me to school!" Liu really shed tears... Afraid of her sad, I sing to her in her ear every day to listen to, comfort, encourage the snobbing we do not cry, we refuel! "For

many days,
I asked Ni Ni: Nini, after the early morning, why not sleep?
Ni Ni said: I first coax you to sleep, or you alone in the living room will be lonely...
My heart is broken! It's only 4 years old! Baby girl misses mom so much....

I don't say much about everything outside, but, seeing the child, I beg, I'm still begging, I pray and pray again. 」

He referred to his four-year-old daughter, also said, "I seem to give the impression that there is a strong appearance, but no one knows that I am so small, I love Liu Zhen, afraid of losing her." The true record is the fear of being a partner and a father, and how longing the other half will recover.

And after Liu really is not invincible, leaving the world, we pay attention to the children at home, how can we grow up on the one hand, while facing the loss of the mother's facts and possible shortcomings? "Death" may always be a relatively difficult topic in the family;

Through the drawing of this selection reading, want to step by step, to lead the child to understand their emotions, find a way to relieve. And this is not just a chance for the child, but for the whole family, your self:

One, "Let's cry first" "You can cry, but don't be too sad"

In the first time we lose, we feel unacceptable and sad. At this point, children may be relatively more difficult to deal with their emotions, and older people can guide them in a timely manner, so that they understand that they have these feelings is not surprising, and can be assured to express.

Mr. Nahida's work, "You can cry, but don't be too sad," chronicles the life words left for his grandson before his death. He wrote about the past memories of the past two people to make him feel happy, and not give up.

"You've been waiting as you used to,
I don't know yet that I'm gone.
If you knew, you'd probably cry all the time!
Tears were all over the face, and the cry in a whisper kept coming. 」

Speak to a helpless child in affectionate words, want to tell them, cry loudly, sadness is irrelevant, you don't have to be brave all the time. However, time heals many wounds, and because we have many good memories in the past, I hope that those strengths can continue to give you the courage to live your life after tears dry.

Mr. Nahida,""Can cry, but don't be too sad"

Ii, "Miss is OK, because there is love" "I miss you, Mom"

In the eyes of children, the loss of a family to them what they mean, what will be worry, fear, what kind of assistance will need? Rebecca. Cooper's work, "I Miss You, Mom," tells the story of a child's perspective, describing the confusion that comes with them:

"Not long ago, we said goodbye to mom.
I didn't know she was there.
I want to find her...
...... But only found a lot of her stuff.
Mother must have forgotten to take these things with her.
We brought her flowers...
...... But mom doesn't seem to have taken the flowers. 」

After understanding that waiting for no longer will respond, he went from doubt, anger, worry, to sadness, and later thoughts. In guiding children through these emotional processes, and with them through a loss of a loved one emotional change, so that they have a greater understanding between each other, and the possibility of helping each other. Through this story let the children understand, miss and sad, because there is love, and these love will not disappear, will continue to accompany you.
