[quote=Anonymous]When I was in 1st grade they did not tell me what had happened when my mother had a miscarriage at six months. It was horrible, I imagined so much worse than it was because the adults did not want to scare me. I can imagine that your 10 year old has enough knowledge in the world to imagine things are a lot worse. You need to be straight up with kids, you need to be able to say I am afraid but that is ok and normal. One other thing is that your wife is in for a hell of difficult period also, that may be her unwillingness to share this with your children in that she herself has not been able to to process what is to come. It may be worth asking her if that is part of what is going on, she may not realize it until you vocalize it. [/quote]
