[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 551629, member: 3930"] Thanks DaisyFace! It's funny because I did a lot of what you suggest. I did tell him no one really knows and that it might be whatever each individual desires. So for him it could be playing video games all day. Lol. The story was actually read to my younger son's class - difficult child wasn't there but was getting upset when easy child was talking about it last night. I do not think anyone in the community had recently died when they read that. I too thought it was kind of odd. I just think the thought of someone dying and difficult child being completely powerless over it is absolutely frightening for him. He is very literal and logical and religion doesn't seem to mix with his mind. I want so badly to comfort him and make all of his fears go away - but he is defensive and doesn't usually allow anyone to see his vulnerability. IC - difficult child would FLIP out if once he realized I asked the therapist to discuss this with him. He would probably get aggressive and/or walk out. It's so hard. [/QUOTE]
