[quote=Anonymous]We just went through this with my 12 year old and my grandmother. She was too young, vibrant, and it was a sudden decline. I kept him in the loop from day 1. Her diagnosis, updates from doctors, what each scan revealed, down to when she started sleeping most of the day and her respirations started to pause for longer stretches. He's very sensitive and loved her deeply, and it was a horrible process for all of us, but keeping him in the loop all along allowed him to process with the rest of us. Best of luck to you all. It's so hard, but if you can do this right, he will learn how to process death in a healthy way. [/quote]
