I cannot imagine what they are going through!

I have been caring for their 3 year old for two years now, and have grown very close to this family.

I have never personally known anyone who has lost a child. What do I say? What do I do?

Also, do I pass the news to my other families, or is that not my place? Most of my families are pretty close knit with each other.
I'm so sorry
I know how you must feel, I lost a daycare boy just a few years ago, and I feel selfish saying this, but I'm so grateful he didn't die earlier in the day, at my house
