“So we said, ‘How do we go home and tell our kids that their brother’s not coming home.’ And the nurses said you have to be very honest.”
“Kids are resilient and they’re going to know if you’re sugar coating things, so we just went home with that intention of being very honest and saying, I hate using the word ‘died,’ but we went home and said ‘River was without oxygen for too long. They did everything that they could but Bubbie died,’” she said.
“And then we just let them process their emotions and we just have continually told them that whatever they’re feeling — if they’re angry, if they’re sad, if they’re mad, if they’re happy ... it’s OK.” She said the two children spent about eight months in play therapy. The parents also let their children know about their own grieving process, and made sure they knew that it was OK to continue talking about their late brother.
“He’s still so very much a part of our lives that I think that has helped them process their grief and heal to where now … they laugh and they tell stories about him,” she said. “They laugh about how funny he was. Of course, there’s still moments of sadness, but I’m pleased I guess is the word I should say as to how they’re healing. I’m grateful for how they’re healing and how resilient that they are.
