My son Ethan. My wife’s mom passed when he was only a year old, but in the span of about 4 years, (ages 6-10), he lost the rest of his remaining grandparents.
After my mom passed away, (his last remaining grandparent), I waited a few hours before I told my children. I’m sure that they knew because I was home and had not been home in three days, but I waited anyway.
A few hours later I was walking by his room and could hear him crying so I went in there to talk to him. I made sure that he understood that she wasn’t in pain anymore, and that she wouldn’t suffer from cancer ever again.
I’ll never forget the look on his face when he said “I know that, dad. It still hurts. It just feels like every time someone dies, a part of me is ripped away”.
There’s nothing you can say to that.
