When my children were very young, (under 10) I withheld the news that their beloved cat was dead. I had to stop crying myself and gain control so I could tell them in a way that they would understand without making them too upset. Today they claim they knew it was bad news because my eyes were swollen and they knew I had been crying. Can't fool kids for long. They accepted her death and were sad for one day. Me, about two weeks!MO_Thoughts2 says,
At work, I had to withhold the news that our owner's daughter (she was in her 20s) from the rest of the office for about 4 hours. It's a small office and one of the employees was a best friend of the daughter. I kept going outside to make phone calls for the owners (both husband and wife). People kept asking me what was going on and I couldn't say anything.
