Hello,
At the start of lock down my lovely father in law was diagnosed with cancer it was in liver and pancreases. There was no treatment, he was given just two months. We lost him three weeks ago. It was so quick, there was little time to process and decline was rapid.
when we told the children he was getting ready to go to heaven (day before) as adults we were emotional. My son (6 yo and possibly autistic) listened and did nt really acknowledge it. I think he was uncomfortable with adults crying. When he died, again our little boy showed no emotion. It was like he did nt process it. Three weeks later and suddenly last week he cried. He has nt stopped. He is absolutely terrified we will die and leave him alone and his will he cope remember us, pay his bills, know how to catch a bus. He is even worried about how he will pay for his children to do things. He is just six years old. Huge separation anxiety. He is in my bed now.
I need some support and advice. I don’t know how best to support him. He is literally crumbling before my eyes with worry, fear, grief and anxiety.
thanks for reading
