I Promise You This
Emily - Children that come from loving homes are incredibly resilient. I suggest youu be honest with Ellie at a 1st grader's level. She sees and feels what is happening and in order to trust her own instincts as she grows she needs to be validated. She will ask the questions she needs answers for and there is no need for you to elaborate further.
My daughters are now in high school & despite my health issues (including hospital stays) loss of several family members & their dad and I getting divorced they are amazing young ladies. No surprise that their friends often turn to them when they need someone to listen.
You can tell how much you and your husband love Ellie. You need to take care of yourself so you can be the best wife and mom possible.
I'm praying for strength & courage for you all to get through this terrible time - M
