Dealing with death and a child with special needs

Wow this past month has been a roller coaster ride of emotions for my family with the loss of my mom ( my child's grannie). Many of you have children with behavioral or emotional needs and know how difficult that is so add to the fact of dealing with a death of someone in the family and then having them never experience it before- well it has been a fun ride- well not so much. It takes so much to work through it all cause you are dealing with your emotions as well as trying to work with your child and letting them know it is ok and all the emotions they are feeling is ok.
we have a ways to go and just to let you know if you have to deal with something like this you are not alone.
Some advice meet with you local hospice they have bereavement and they have support groups and counselors for all members of the family - they are amazing!
