I just noticed the thread about helping children cope with divorce and hope it's ok for me to raise another issue of this type. My grandchildren's other granny passed away very recently. She had become a good friend of mine and I am devastated, as (of course) is my son-in-law and my daughter. We are trying to hide our pain from the children 3 and a half and 10 and help them through this difficult time. They were very close to her. Trouble is none of us really know the best way to do this. Should we talk about it? Should we try to distract the?. The fact that they are so different in age probably means we should deal with it differently for both but we would all be so grateful for advice from anyone who has been through anything similar. With grateful thanks
