Very good answer. If I could share something...

My mom died 16 yrs ago, my dad came to visit us in Kansas 3 months later.
Jared my youngest took her death very hard, he was only 5, when he had last seen his grandma 5 months before he couldn't hug her, he was afraid, he didn't remember her, he had last seen her when he was 3. We tried very hard to console him but in the end it was my dad who through his tears helped my son and himself.

My mom was a double amputee, Above the knee amputation (AKA). Jared asked his grandpa one day how grandma could walk in heaven without her legs. My dad's reply: "Grandma's legs went to heaven first." With that said Jared stopped his 4 days of on and off tears, they hugged then grandpa and grandson went fishing hand in hand.
