13-yo dealing with dying grandma

[Guest guest]

We got the call last night that grandma had maybe a few hours to

live... & both the boys wanted to go say goodbye. She's in hospice, &

the cousins were all going to be there too.

While we were there, most of us weeping, must've felt something

was wrong with HIS reaction, and said " I'm not crying because my eyes

are all dried out from the heater in the car. "

I know its fine if he doesn't shed tears...but how do I help him

understand that?

Again this morning, he repeated that his eyes were too dry to cry.

Grandma is still hanging on, and no one can guess how long it will be.

Have any of you had experiences dealing with AS & grieving & death?
