I felt like it might be offensive to include in the original post but I started wondering this as I was watching a lady take care of her little brother with special needs. Both in their 50s and recently lost their father. I could tell he understood that his dad had gone away and he was showing some distress but it made me wonder how well he understands the situation and if that affects their ability to process it emotionally.

All that to basically say I’m wondering if ignorance really is bliss
