We knew our third child, our daughter Luna, was going to die before she was born. We didn’t know how long exactly she would live inside my body.
Of all the things that scared us (and there were many) the one that bewildered us most was how to explain her life and death to our sons, then 3 and 5-years-old.
We tried to be truthful with them always and to say things in words, they would understand.
