““It is often said that there should be no death or grief in children's stories. It is not wise to dwell on the dark and sad side of these things; but they have also a bright and lovely side, and since even the youngest, dearest, and most guarded child cannot escape some knowledge of the great mystery, is it not well to teach them in simple, cheerful ways that affection sweetens sorrow, and a lovely life can make death beautiful?””
![“[Children] just cannot be sad too long, it is not in them, as children mourn in little bits here and there like patchwork in their lives.” quote by Nancy E. Turner](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/0f2/nancy-e-turner-9527_children_children-just-cannot-be-sad-too-long-it_2706990.jpg)
