Re: Helping child deal with death

[Guest guest]

Becky,

I am so sorry to hear about your father. I lost my Dad too, and I understand how hard that can be.

When my Grandpa died last year, my oldest son freaked out at the funeral home. He would not step inside the room that Grandpa's casket was in, and we did not force him to do so. I don't know how much he understood of the situation (but I do know that he understands more than he can articulate), but he obviously knew something was "wrong," Great-Grandpa didn't look the same, was not getting up and giving him a hug, etc. Of course, he was not quite 6 years-old at the time, which I realize is a bit different than your case. But, knowing this might be the case with any of our kids, we had my in-laws come to the funeral home and take the kids home while my husband and I stayed there. I also went earlier so I could be with my Mom, and my husband and the kids came later.

Do you have a family member or a trusted friend who understands your son's situation? Perhaps they could sit with him at the funeral home and talk to him. Many times funeral homes have separate rooms where children and others can go to get out of the visitation room for awhile. If things get too much for , perhaps he could be offered a "break" in this alternate room?

Can write, draw, or type on a computer? Maybe he could be encouraged to write, draw or type his questions and someone who understands his situation could take some breaks and sit and talk with him about what he wrote, drew or typed. Or, is there anything that you know of which typically calms him that can be brought to the wake/funeral for him? For instance, my youngest boy is soothed by music. So, we brought his CD walkman and his favorite music with us to the funeral home. We explained in advance to all the family members why this would be the case, and no one said anything about it.

If nothing else, I can tell you from experience that grief and socially acceptable behavior are kind of a Catch-22...there are two times I have seen normally sane people act like they've completely lost all sense of decency...weddings and funerals. So, in light of that, might be just fine!

Again, my deepest sympathy for what you and your family are going through at this time. I wish you peace.

Subject: [ ] Helping child deal with death

I am sorry for starting the day with such a hard topic. But I am at a lose right now on how to handle this and need as much input as can be offered.

My father is losing a 10 year battle with lung deaese. He has been in ICU since late Sunday and each day has been harder and harder for him to get air moving. We took up to see him Monday, butit took 30 of him standing at Dads door before he would let us guide him in. Even than all he could do is sit in the chair ad not talk to anyone. I have accepted the fact that may not be able to talk to his Grandpa when he looks like this. So I have not forced him to go in the room or even go to the hospital.

Mom and Dad met with all his specialist this morning and Dad has asked that he be allowed to go. I will respect my father wishes, no matter how hard they are, but I am worried about reaction after he passes. We have lost other close to us but never anyone this close. I also know that will go into his 3-6 week stage of talking about death, dieing, everyone is dying, why did grandpa die, how did grandpa did, why did his lung stop, why didn't the doctors help him, and etc. Bob & I understand why he is asking these questions, but other familiy memebrs will get highly upset when he contains to ask these question. I am trying to develop aplan to hand things when he ask people, and he will be asking everyone at the funeral home, the funeral and he sees until he has it all out of his head. I also know that will be in a drop of the dime crying state for a while over mssing his Grandpa. I understand this is normal. I have called the therapist that used to work with him and also have talked to a social worker with Stain Hospit about their grief program for kids and she is hooking us up with them today.

Please help me figure out what we can do to help be more social approprate in this setting

Becky, I am so sorry that you are losing your father. I know it must make it even harder to have to try to explain it to your autistic son. I wish I had some wisdom, but I don't. I am going to be 75, and my husband is 78. We have our 14 year old autistic grandson, and I often wonder how anyone will be able to explain our deaths to Karac after we are gone. We have always taken Karac to church, and he seems to have a knowledge of Jesus. I think Karac would accept an explanation that at death one goes to live with Jesus. I don't know what your belief is about death, but it seems like this would be the opportunity for you to share what that belief is. I think autistic kids, just like NT kids, pick up on our emotions and tend to make the same kind of adjustments that we do. Would a social story about death and funerals and appropriate behavior at such times be helpful to your son? Just my thoughts. Love and blessings, Pat K

Becky, I'm so sorry to hear about your father! Your family will be

in my prayers.

Perhaps you and could go to the funeral home at a time when

there will be very few people there, so maybe he could get all the

questions out and answered beforehand. If you know he will repeat

the questions, at least you will know what they are.

I like the idea of another poster (I forget your name - sorry!) who

suggested a trusted family member be with him the whole time, since

no doubt, you will have other responsibilities and need to grieve and

talk to visitors yourself.

And you know what? If despite all your creative thinking and

exhaustive preparations, is socially inappropriate, SO WHAT!

If a child on the autism spectrum (which includes a social

disability) is viewed negatively at his own grandfather's funeral by

able-bodied and able-minded adults, the problem lies not with the

child. If loves his grandpa and if his grandpa loves , he

deserves to be there. Chris

I may be the wrong one to comment as I think that however processes this loss is fine and that others will understand. I think you are doing the right thing to bring in the professionals for advice but you know well and if he needs to talk it out then I say let him....we each deal with death and the grieving process differently and at our own speed and to alter that is to not validate his feelings...imho...

So for what it is worth I say give him ( and yourself) all the supports you need and take it one day at a time...I know how hard this is and there is no easy way out of it but I promise you that you will make it thro the other side. Wish I was more help.

May you have warm words on a cold evening,a full moon on a dark night,and a smooth road all the way to your door.
