We don't know how to explain its disappearance. They might believe what really happened, but I'm afraid it would affect them. It's well known in our family that we all have some degree of sensitivity. My 5 yo great niece started crying and saying "Eron died" before the phone even rang. She was almost hysterical. My father visited both my children and said good-bye before we even got the call.
I just don't want to bring up things that will hurt them. I guess they'll just have to understand.
