wjkk wjkf..
am currently in my 3rd year of studying child care...and yes it is goign to be hard for this 2year old child to understand, but he/she will, you just ahve to go down to a level so they understand..but you have to remember when this child asks you questions to answer them with truth because we think that children of this age cant tell the difference when people are lieing and when they arent but they cant..
there are loads of chidlrens story books that you can get about death. theres a book called, "wheres Mog" and its about a childs cat dieing and leaving..and how the cats spirit is still tehre watching them so the owners of the cat behave because they knwo their cats watching them even though tehy cant see them. i know pets dieing and fathers leaving are different but for a child of such a young age its the same.
its a good way to help teh child understand death, by reading them a chidlrens book which is at tehre level explaining death and then answering any questions they have.
hope mahraj helps you, sorry for any mistakes
