[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so glad to see so many hate this sentiment as much as I do! I think it’s so dismissive and hurtful to the child. DH died when our son was 3. I can’t tell you how many people said he’d be fine because kids are resilient. He just lost his father forever!! Can we not expect him to bounce back immediately and actually let him feel his grief?! No 3 yr old should have to be resilient. And, btw, 15 years later, DS is a great kid but his dad’s death didn’t make him resilient at all. It took therapy and a lot of support to get him over the painful “abandonment” and distrust. [/quote] I’m so sorry for your, and your sons, loss. When children are provided the appropriate support (sounds like you did a great job getting your son what he needed!) they can be, and often are, very resilient. [/quote]
