Should I let my daughter play Clannad or is it far too depressing for a kid?

My wife recently passed away and I imagine it might help her cope with it, but on second thought it might do more harm than good.

You must've read the wrong VN, he was coping just fine until Ushio's magical AIDS gene kicked in and fucked him in the ass.

Here's a serious answer for you. How old is your daughter? Clannad is a relatively mature story, so much of the subtleties of it might be lost on a young girl. Also, the images in it may be too strong for her, given what has just happened.

Like I said, it was about him learning to cope with loss. If he automatically coped with her death there would be no learning and no story.

Why do you think it skips those 5 years and picks back up at the moment he learns to move on?

Isn't there a good chance that she'd choose to play one of the other routes regardless? You know, a lot of them aren't anything to do with loss at all.

Except he wasn't coping; he turned out exactly like his father: a negligent douchebag that can't even look at his own child with the eye's of a father because he/she reminds him of his wife that died for him/her.

He only coped at the end of AS before Ushio's death, I'd hardly call that fine... then she died and he seemed to have learned nothing and started crying for his wife again. So no, the main theme of the game isn't about moving on.

She's 8 but also the top of her class so she could probably understand the gist of it.

Normally I wouldn't even consider letting my daughter near a VN but Clannad is pretty family friendly and as corny as this sounds replaying AS actually helped me through the depression, which is what gave me the idea of letting her read it, too.

Eh, I dunno. Maybe it was a retarded idea to begin with.

Speaking about real life death and VNs, just this weekend, I played my violin at an aunt's funeral.
Before it was my turn to play, I was watching the slideshow on the screen.

It felt so fitting, so beautiful to help send her off.

Well, anyway, as far as i remember Clannad ends with characters dying and waking up in parallel universe when no one ever died, also there are bits with the theme of moving on, but it's concetrated on Tomoya. I don't think your daughter would find Ushio's situation similiar to her own, because Ushio never really knew her mother, was rised by grandparents and for her it was more about being accepted and loved by her dad than dealing with mother's death.
Or did you wanted her to think of herself as if she was Tomoya?

First and foremost, my condolences. For all the insults, trolling and general vulgarity that goes around here, /jp/ users are the only friends I have and this is dreadful news indeed.

As for your question, yes, but there are better choices. She is certainly old enough to understand the story, but Clannad may have the opposite effect and actually exacerbate the issue, since it strongly features the loss of loved ones. Instead of trying to make her cope (which to my knowledge will take much longer), distracting her from the vicious cycle of focusing on her mother's death, isolating herself out of grief and in doing so finding more time to delve on her loss will be a better decision. I recommend books, especially of the fantasy genre - not those children's books, but something engaging like Lord of the Rings or the Earthsea series. Discworld also works well. You really don't want to expose her to more tragedy.
