If not, I found this link on [msn.com](http://msn.com) helpful. I have already spoken to my kids…but found some useful info in this article.

If you HAVE spoken to your kids already, any particular words of wisdom that your kid(s) found comforting? Or did you find that any of your words created a “light bulb” moment for your kid(s)?

The General Questions forum is for questions with factual answers. This is a sort of survey, so I’ll move this thread to IMHO.

Nope, I haven’t and I’m not sure I will. My oldest is only 3.

I just told him that Uncle Chuck had to go to work really far away, and that he would be back as soon as he could but not right away.
