Correction: family.

You too may need to talk to other grandparents who have lost grandchildren. xx

I'm sorry I don't have helpful advice, enelbee, but I would like to offer my sympathy to you in this awful situation. Have the familt joined counselling groups for this kind of bereavement? It might help them to talk to other people who have had the same experience.

Oh enelbee, that is so very sad.

I'm not sure anyone could help them at all to be honest. Be ready to talk about the boy with them? If you are a believer, pray for them?

Our son and his family live in UK and we live in USA. My son's eldest boy died suddenly this past summer and I am concerned about how to help the family cope (there is a younger son) as they pass through this first year - especially with holidays.

Does anyone have some helpful advice?
