Ahimsa (non-violence) should always come first, even before speaking the "truth". Truth is never truth if it hurts someone else.

They didn't just die yesterday. The kid asked a pretty open question and seems to be trying to make sense of it all - just like we all do well *after* that first, very important person in our life dies.
Edit: Christy - touche.
ReEdit: YOU don't know what words will help either, sorry, you think you know and that coddling her years after the loss is right, but people all grieve differently and she's an adult and completely capable of ignoring what she wants (and if she really wanted coddling she wouldn't be here) so get off the high horse and stop telling people they shouldn't attend funerals.

If someone that I know is hurting I will do everything that I can too be there for them. Pushing my own agenda when someone I love is hurting would be cruel and hateful and I don't have that in me.

So, is this a question or are you just saying "Shame, shame"?
When someone is hurting or otherwise in a delicate situation I would never try to push my own agenda on them...that only makes it worse. I try to offer words of comfort while not necessarily candy coating the situation, either. I try to give my honest and sincere condolences.

let that person know that you care and that you have been there and understand let them know that if they need to talk, you are there for them. sometimes silence is the best and let them talk, just listen
