Hi! I lost my husband four years ago (brain tumour) and our boys turned one the day after he died. Even now I still feel like I’m grieving and have memories that pop into my head, just recently one of my boys started crying at bedtime and I asked him what was wrong- he said he missed daddy and can’t we bring him back so we can be normal again. I doubt he actually remembers him sadly, though I’ve shown pictures so they know about their daddy. Any tips on how to approach this now they are coming to an age where they understand without having known him ?

I have no advice to give I just pray that you will find a way to explain something so very complicated. He doesn’t get the idea of “death” or what it means, but he knows you are sad and he hears these great stories about his wonderful dad and he would like to meet him and see him.
Perhaps this is something an uncle can help you with. They were little fellas once too. They may have advice on how to handle this.
Much love. It is heartbreaking. I am so sorry.
