My almost 5 year old daughter has been asking for her sister quite a bit lately. What breaks my heart is that she passed in 2013 as preemie 25 week old.
It took years of fertility treatments and miscarriages to finally be blessed with my girl now. Due to health issues and age (46) my husband and I have accepted the fact that we are one and done.
My daughter is aware of her “baby” sister as we have told her about the angel watching over us but lately, she’s been asking about when she is coming home as she really loves her and wants to take care of her. It brings me to tears every time and I wish I never had brought her up. I know she’s still little and doesn’t understand death but I don’t know what else to say when she asks when she’s coming home. I feel like I made a mistake in even telling her about her sister. If anyone has experienced something like this or similar, it would be helpful to find the words because I don’t even know anymore.
