Hi all, my dad passed away 9 weeks ago and my child who is 3 keeps saying things like when I die can I go see grandad?who’s going to look after me when you die mum? and when are you going to die mum? How am I supposed to answer these questions?
Hello @Vicky88, I’m so sorry for the loss of your dad. It can be hard to support a child when we’re grieving, too.
You’ve asked how you can support your child, so here are some organisations which can help.
