“Going to the Tree” from Linda’s El Salvador Blog
Posted by KimJun 9
I read this post today, and it struck me how differently we deal with death with our children here in the U.S. With some exceptions, we think we can somehow shelter them from it. We’re blessed that those exceptions are so few and far between that many parents can pull it off. I have friends whose kids don’t even know a pet has died – they’ve “gone to a farm” or some similar thing.
Not so in El Salvador where the author Linda is living.

What an amazing story – thanks for sharing Kim. This really blessed my day today reading this.
I just found out a couple of hours ago that a very close family friend “went to the tree” – it came as one of those complete shocks that just leaves you speechless. But God does know what He’s doing. And that is always important to remember.
