[quote=Anonymous]I’m so sorry about your dad. It’s terrible to lose a parent. My kids were 8-15 when my mom passed after a long illness. They were sometimes supportive and concerned and other times it was life as usual. Teens are especially self-centered. My kids still cry sometimes when talking about their grandma and I know they definitely loved her. But it was their first real loss and I don’t think they really comprehended the situation at the time. DD - my oldest - cried to me one night towards the end that she simply couldn’t bear to think about losing her grandma. So I think some of what came off as indifference was her actually trying to deal with her own grief. [/quote]
