The trauma kids suffer in things like the bushfires or any other violent event is pretty hard, there's not much that can be done other than comfort and support i guess :(

[ccdesan.livejournal.com]

Agreed.

Comfort and support, and giving them both a safe place, and permission, to feel anything they want and let those feelings out.

In fact I think I see where he's going with this. Should be a good arc

Me too. Pippie hasn't been able to allow herself to grieve. One look at her drawings and you can see her heart crying out for her family, but for some reason, she feels like she's not allowed. Hence, a contrived reason not to cry: Ghosts.

I've got my tissues at the ready...

I'm waiting for the "They aren't trying to scare you Pippie, they are trying to say goodbye..."

Oh, that's right good.
