[QUOTE="busywend, post: 173648, member: 391"] I am very sorry. It is important to use the baby's name in conversations. Especially with his brother. He is a brother, no matter that he never got to play with him. This is increasingly difficult for kids to understand because they do not 'know' who this name you are using is. But, let's say they named him Ricky. Ricky will always be your stepson's brother - his entire life. Ricky will always be your stepson's mother's other son. She is Ricky's mom. It is terribly hard for people to understand because they did not know Ricky. Her arms will physically ache for her baby. It is going to be a very difficult time for the family. Use his name whenever you speak of 'the baby'. I think what you told your stepson is good. Is your stepson heading home for a funeral? [/QUOTE]
