And that all the the children should know that there was a beautiful brother who can't be with them. Their attachment to loss is something that will make them more empathetic and make them lead more meaningful lives with gratitude for the warm wonderful, loving family they were brought into. Sadly nobody should have to do these things that you face. But you are a wonderful Mom, they are very lucky to have you.<br />MomSusan Chadneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17540549178812768764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-823549861851853736.post-67358766716486633362016-03-20T21:14:43.588-07:002016-03-20T21:14:43.588-07:00Thank you Abby.

Humans experience so much pain in life and I do feel like we<br />Are almost force to not feel much.<br /> Our children talk about Jayden often, specially our oldest. It shocks many but she draws him in every family picture. And the suggestion above has help my girls so much writing cards to their younger brother. I do answer the same way " I also want to play with him honey". Much love to your family.

Your words and message are deeply feeling, deeply loving and empathetic. Mo has these traits in common with his mother. You are continually teaching him that it is ok if he doesn't feel like he needs to pretend that he feels anything other than what he feels, both by example and with your loving support of him.<br /><br />XXOOAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07682211489074229531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-823549861851853736.post-19866522209575612562016-03-16T14:53:41.500-07:002016-03-16T14:53:41.500-07:00Madeleine is frustrated about having a sister whos...Madeleine is frustrated about having a sister whose dead too. Why doesn't she come back? When will she?
