Hopefully someone can help. We have had 2 very recent bereavements in our family. DS's aunty (my sis-in-law) and DS's great aunty (my aunty).
One was a shock and the other was expected as she was suffering with a terminal illness, but obviously still a shock.
Both ladies were a big part of DS's life and he saw them regularly.
As a family we are coping well and supporting each other but I think DS is struggling to understand what has happened.
So far, the subject hasnt cropped up. He has guessed little bits and thinks that his great aunty has gone somewhere to be made better.
If you have ever had to, how did you explained death to a youngster? I dont want him to be frightened or worried.
Any advice gratefully accepted.
