Asperger's and the death of a grandparent

[Guest guest]

I am hoping (well not exactly) that someone has some experience with their child

dealing with the death of someone close to them? My daughter is 13 (recently

diagnosed with asperger's). My mother is dieing and I am wanting some advice on

dealing with my daughter. She actually seems to be taking it better than I am

because she isn't getting all emotional over it. My daughter and I are taking

the bus back to the state that we just moved from so that we can see my mother

before she passes away. I am pretty much dredding the trip because if my

daughter has one of her meltdowns I really don't think that I could deal with

that right now. My husband can't come with us because we don't really have the

money for another bus ticket and we have a bunch of pets that need to be taken

care of. I am trying not to stress out too much but.....I just really need this

trip to go smoothly. Any advice would be appreciated. We leave Friday at 10PM.

Thanks.
