That's tough. I remember, by the time I was 9, two very important relatives of mine had passed away (and two more that I do not remember, because I was too young), and it was very hard to accept that. A nine-year-old understands the concept of death very well, but it will be hard for her to understand why it is not the old ones that die first. You'll have to explain that sometimes that's not how it works. Make your sis feel that there are so many people around her who love her very much and want to see her carry on with her everyday activities. Unfortunately, this is something we all have to learn to deal with.

Don't expect anything dramatic after all the support you people give her, it takes a little time to get over. As some other friend moves closer to her, this heals. Don't try hard, be supportive and let her meet her other friends progressively more often which gives solace and bid for time.

I hear what you are saying. Don't be too alarmed because children at that young age are very residual. They tend to bounce back quickly. Tell her in language that she will understand, and watch her for any adverse reactions.

just tell her and promise her that you're going to be there and you're all going to get through this.
