Where do I start 10 weeks today and i really hate Sunday now. My poor son life has changed and he is having panic attacks because he thinks he is going to die like his dad did. He is autistic and suffers with anxiety and I don’t know what to do anymore and all i do is worry sick. My daughter is going away for a few days and she always looks out for my son. I think the panic attacks are worse because i think he worries she not coming back like his dad. I’m broken because my husband has died and I’m broken 
because my poor son is suffing. It’s a horrible world we live in and i don’t know what to do anymore

So sorry for your loss sundays are always the hardest day to get through everyone is with family and enjoying themselves . It must be hard for your son to understand, you dont say how old he is, my friends son has autism he likes a set routine or he gets upset he’s 19 now but still has to have routine. Hope you all get through this tough time we will come out the other side just takes time .

Hi Judy,
I lost my husband 10 weeks ago. My daughter has autism as well as a learning disability and she was very confused when he just disappeared from her life. He had a cardiac arrest, she was not here at the time.
She attends a day centre and they obtained some NHS worksheets designed for people with additional needs. I must admit I did not like the look of them but I did give them permission to use them with her. It may just be a coincidence but her behaviour and sadness have improved significantly.
I don’t know if this might help your son because I obviously don’t know his level of understanding, but perhaps a GP or social worker might be able to point you and him in a helpful direction.
Xx
