So, my 10 year old son's grandfather just passed away from cancer. I have to sit down with him with my husband tonight and tell him. He wasn't very close to him, but I just don't know how to say it. I don't want to say, "Your grandpa died" and leave it at that.
How does one approach that? Another thing...he is ADHD with possible aspergers, so I don't even know if he will have a reaction at all. Help?

I'm so sorry sweetie....probably, it's better to just start from explaining that every single being will be gone one day.....and if you have any belief in term of religious stuff and after dead, you can explain it to him first....then related it to his grandpa....
you are in my thoughts Marjan |

Well, we told him that his grandpa passed away and was really sick with cancer. we told him that he was really old and could fight it. He said he was sad, but was ok. We told him to ask us any questions he might have.
