! My girls are incredible and I never once saw them sad, upset and they never asked any questions about where their mom was at.
I wonder about this too, and my girls are older. They have seen their mom on the couch in the morning. This morning it was cold and I heard my W come in the MBR but then leave probably because I was takin up the bed and she couldn’t fit on the edge. My D11 said mom got into her bed and that’s why she woke. She never questioned why.
I don’t want to hijack your thread, just pointing out that kids don’t say anything. But they must notice.
