The story

Everyone and everything that is alive dies at some time.

Death is part of life.

When someone dies, everything inside that person stops.

The heart stops.

The breathing stops.

They cannot feel any hurt.

They cannot feel hot or cold.

When someone dies, they do not have any life insider their body anymore.

Just the body is left...

like a peanut shell without the peanut.

When someone dies people feel sad.

Feeling sad is OK.

People feel sad because the person that died is gone.

When someone dies people cry.

Crying is OK.

Sometimes after you cry you don't feel as sad.

In a few days or weeks you may not feel as sad.

Time helps you feel better.

It's OK to feel better.
