Bereaved 3-y-o

[Granite]

Any advice, resources etc for a bright three year old who has just lost her mother to cancer?

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my dad when I was two and he was never spoken of in happy tones again. He was cremated and there was no memorial for me to visit as I was growing up. Even though I didnt have concrete memories of him I still grieved, had questions, and still missed his presence, but I was never allowed to taljk about it. Be patient with her, she will be angry, maybe for a long time. I didn't know what it was that I'd lost but knew it was very important. Just love her, the rest will follow.

Just posting another local service, this one is \link{http://www.seesaw.org.uk/\See Saw}near us in Oxford, in case it is any help.

So sorry to hear about this terrible time for you.

I'm so sorry. :( This thread has brough tears to my eyes. :(
I saw \link{http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0744598982/qid=1150693645/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl/026-3775699-7409236\Michael Rosen's Sad Book} in a bookshop yesterday - I'd say that a 3 year old would be able to get quite a lot out of it. It is a really sad book, but does explain that its ok to feel sad.

How's your granddaughter now Granite? This is a dreadfully sad thread, something that all mums dread happening. Thinking of you.
