I also think you would be ok to explain things to your 10 year old hun, kids are quite resiliant to these things. My ds was just under 7 when my gran died and he got a really good grasp of what was going on when it was explained to him. I actually think its more scary for kids when they know "something" is wrong but everyone is talking in hushed voices around them and keeping secrets, better to be open and honest I think.Thanks to all posters and contributers :beer:0

She's been ill for many months now & tbh I personally think she won't get any better.
She lives about 6 miles away so it's a fair distance really, no real park nearby, or cinema etc & with us not driving it's 2 buses each way so it's a full day he'll be away.
She has her hospital appointment next week so perhaps after that we'll have some answers xx2025 - finally back comping after a stressful house move - send me fairy dust please0 -

Oh I see. No, I didn't realise that.
It was my dad that told me as staying clear of Scottish news as all swine flu stuff freaking me out :eek::o but yeh she had underlying conditions and baby died of being premature.Just back into comping past few months to help me get over rubbish in life.... won Hotpoint fridge freezer, soda stream0 -
pms, i can understand where your dh is coming from as the kids seeing their grandma will be affecting them a lot but then they do have a right to see her, we made the decision to let my then 2 year old see my dad when he was ill and dying with cancer, dont underestimate how it affects 2 year olds as it does, personally i think my son would have been affected more if we had stopped the contact but you both need to discuss this, can you discuss this with your older dd too? see how she feels about the situation, maybe with the 2 of you onside then dh will relent?0

well fingers crossed for some answers for you next week hun, try not to get too frustrated with your DH, men will be men, they arent so good with the emotional stuff! Sure he will appreciate your support hun and no its not going to be easy but stuff like this quite often makes people and relationships stronger. Hang in there xxx.Thanks to all posters and contributers :beer:0 -

PP thanks for your input hun, I guess until we sit together (DH thinks it should be ME not both of us!) & talk to DD we'll see how she feels about everything as well then go from there. She cried for 2 hours last time we went (not in front of her Great Grandma but once we got home) because of how upset she was xx2025 - finally back comping after a stressful house move - send me fairy dust please0
