Guest guest Posted April 20, 2002 Report Share Posted April 20, 2002 I am sorry this is so late. I haven't had a chance to look at e-mail all week and just saw your post. Do you have some relatives or close friends that can help you out with kids a little. You need time for your self and to figure out what you are going to do and four young children incuding two non-verbal ones is a lot. As far as the twins go one thought I had was could you go to family therapy? I was thinking 2 older sibblings might ask similar questions to those twins thinking and that would be helpful to twins. I like the picture of Dad idea so you know when they want to talk about Dad. I know it's not the same but when my older ds(non-apraxic) son was 3 he lost his grandma he was close to unexpectedly. Even though he was young I felt it was important for him to see grandma and say goodbye so I showed him her body. We talked a lot about heaven and how even though it was hard for us and we would miss grandma she was now with God. Even though he was verbal, death is too complicated for pre-schoolers to express so I did most of talking. If it were me I would talk and talk and talk to twins to make sure their fears(I'm sure they are afraid of losing you, afraid of car travel, afraid of hospitals, etc.) and thoughts are being understood. And I would really emphasize whatever happens you will be there for them and things will work out. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
