Get them to a hospice so that they can maybe volunteer, but at least take away the hideous images this Schiavo spectacle might have left in their heads.

Let them talk to people who deal with dignified and caring deaths all the time.

Demystify it and let your girls make friends with death. It'll be one of the greatest gifts you could ever give them.

When my father died, my kids wanted to touch his body. They were all over him, they were young, and their openness, their curiosity, their natural fearlessness, we were so proud of them. They taught us so much that day.
