[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 142257, member: 1233"] Sounds like a call to the psychiatrist was a good idea. I really think your mommy heart and mommy instincts will tell you if it is a big problem. Have you asked him what brought this up? At age 12, I think many kids start to wonder about this stuff. They also start questioning their religious beliefs (at least in my experience it starts about them). Is he drawing pictures, or writing stories or blogs or texts about death? What is the tone of them? Is he worried he will die because his brother did? Maybe it would be good to look at some books written for teens/preteens on this? Did he read a story about a child dying? I have to say I am sometimes speechless at the topics the young adult books discuss. I just don't always think the topic is handled in an appropriate way. So maybe checking what he has been reading? Are you the person who posted about "Bridge to Terabithia"? It caused some pretty intense problems for difficult child and for Jessica. Not the movie, the book. They each read it much too young (and with-o my knowledge until it was too late - a relative gave each of them a copy at age 8 or 9). Can you see what he has been looking at online? Maybe that owuld help figure it out. Susie [/QUOTE]
