When your child erases the deceased from drawings

I found drawings under my ten-year-old's bed of our family but she erased her little sister who died and I don't know what that means.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A child's artistic choices reveal internal struggles with accepting death while a parent searches for meaning in erasure.
