Boy, what an odd response from the doc.

Yes, that IS what one is shooting for, and that is what you want....but not overnight.

Grieving is a personal thing, some move on more quickly than others, but, as Rockhead said...."tick, tick tick"

My feeling is she hasn't dealt with it. Not completely.

How does a child that young deal with death?

I can not understand how to explain the difference between life and death to a 5 year old.. . let alone allow them to grieve properly.

I know kids have a larger understanding then we as adults give them credit for.. but.. what is she supposed to do at that age?

Psychologist sees 'happy' Bindi
November 22, 2006

TERRI Irwin has taken her two children to a psychologist following concerns that daughter Bindi has been "so happy" despite the death of her father Steve.

n an interview in The Australian Women's Weekly to be published today, Mrs Irwin said she had taken eight-year-old Bindi and her two-year-old brother Bob to a psychologist.

"I don't pretend to have all the answers," Mrs Irwin said.

"I met with a psychologist and that's been a tremendous help for me.

"I asked him if everything was OK, because Bindi has been so happy.

"And he said, 'Why? Are you worried? That's what you are shooting for. That's what you want - a well-adjusted child who can handle a tragedy and see that life goes on'."

But why is the shrink's (questionable) verdict on Bindi's mental health being published at all?
Why is her mother taking about her child in this way to the media, anyway?
It is absolutely none of our business!
Poor kid! Sad
