[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 72100"] My difficult child has similiar issues. Growing up there was a neighbor man who he just loved. He was a motorcyle man, beard, tatoo's..actually kind of scary looking. difficult child loved him. He would give him rides around the block on his motorcycle, he would buy him gifts from the motorcycle rides/trips. He would buy him ice-cream when the truck came. The last day of kindergarden the man died in his sleep. I fought over to tell him or not, but didn't want him to hear it from someone else. So, I told him. He didn't eat for 6 weeks. He was so afraid that if he swallowed anything he would choke and die. I brought him to doctors, had a scope done, he was put on Paxil, still would not eat. After 6 weeks of no food, easy child took him to a concert, and they stopped to eat. difficult child ate a french fry. One. And the next day he ate another, and he recovered. Two weeks ago difficult child had a friend who's mother died from cancer. He seems to be handling that ok. He has not seen her since though. He has eating issues, and I often wonder if it stems back to that first experience. I wouldn't want your child to hear it from someone else. Ease into the situation and feel out how she does. Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
