can you imagine losing one of your best friends when you're not even old enough to understand that death is a part of life and all that jazz? it was confusing and sad enough for me when i lost my great grandma when i was 6 or 7... and you learn to accept it because "she was old. people die when they're old."
but losing a peer when you can't even use the toaster bc it's too dangerous and you're too small? i can't imagine how these kids will look at relationships in the future, both romances and friendships. does it predispose them to cherishing relationships or will it make them scared of forming emotional connections? the psychology of this event is difficult
