6 yr old daughter grieving | ADHD Information

My deepest condolences on your loss.  Obviously this is a hard time for your whole family.

I commend you for your concern about your children.  You also need to take care of yourself at this difficult time.  Even though you don't have local family, can you get support through a church (or whatever religion you are), friends, a local grieving support group?  You need an outlet for everything you are feeling.

Regarding the kids, can you ask the therapist via phone appointment how things are going?  When my child has seen a therapist, I've gotten updates on how things are going.  We were working on anxiety issues and on impulsivity, so it was different.  Nonetheless, I would think the therapist would give the parent a general sense how things are going.

Could your school's counselor be of help?  That might be another resource for you and your children.

My heart goes out to you with all that you're facing.

hi there i am a 40 year old widow who has just recently lost her husband from cancer, (3 weeks), my two daughters saw there father get sicker at home and i believe this has helped with the grieving process. However my youngest poppett is acting and can be generally very demanding , unfortuntally with no family help i am having a hard time

 

Any suggestions please? both go to councilling, and i do not go in the room, i dont know weather it is going well or not so i am going to change this sometimes it is all to much and i feel like a bad mother,

So sorry for your loss.
I'm sorry I don't have any advice.
You are not a bad mother; I'm sure it will take everyone time to grieve in their own way.
Maybe there is a children's book on the subject of losing a loved one that you could read with your daughter?

thank you for the words of kindness and support we will get there

I honestly feel that time will heal. I wish I had more to say that would help you now. Please be patient. You are doing all the right things.

I have been grieving a situation since April. I am finally starting to make it through the day with only crying a few times. I feel this helps me get it out. I especially cry in the car on my drive home from work. I can get the anger of my grief out as well.

I can feel that I am doing better. Please hang in there will all of this. Soon you and your family will do better. One day at a time.

Please accept my condolensces for your loss. I am truly sorry.

What a terribly sad situation.  I hope time will help heal.  The best of luck.I am so so sorry to hear of the loss of your husband. Please know that we are here for you and know that you are not alone. Hugs and my deepest sympathy goes out  to you and your family.First, I would like to tell you how very sorry I am for your loss.  I can not imagine what your family is going through.  You and your daughters are in so much pain right now. You have your ways of dealing with the death of your husband. Unfortunately, kids do not have the coping mechanisms of adults, so they act out. Counceling will give your daughters an outlet for their emotions, and teach them more constructive ways of dealing with their grief.  In the mean time, please keep in mind that you are not a bad mother,you are a grieving widow.  It will take you time to deal with your emotions.  Your children need you, but take some time for yourself too.  You all have a long way to go to get a handle on what has happened.  (((HUGS))) to you all and good luck. I hope that with time, you and your daughters find your peace. staciabeth40341.7795717593
