How Do I Tell My Toddler Daddy’s Gone? Navigating Grief as a Parent

I never imagined I’d have to explain the loss of a parent to my child so soon. My husband just passed away, and I’m at a loss for words when it comes to telling our 3-year-old. How do you explain something so big to someone so little? I want to protect my child’s innocence, but I also know honesty matters. The thought of seeing confusion or sadness in those bright eyes breaks my heart. Has anyone else faced this? How did you find the right words, or comfort your little one through such a huge loss?
