[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 173770, member: 3419"] Ohhhhhhhhhh nooooooooooooooooo! I am so sorry. That is so sad. Especially since they had the surgeries scheduled and gave the parents such high hopes. What a tragedy. How old is your stepson? We've never told our kids that God needed another angel ... we've always just told them the truth, at any age. Of course, we've left out details when they were young, and added details as they mature. My difficult child is always full of questions ... he would have asked why the doctors didn't do surgery, or why the surgery didn't work, and then would have asked if HE was going to die from a heart problem. So I would emphasize that he is healthy, his parents are healthy, and sometimes life is just the pits. And crying is okay for everyone. And that his mom will need a hug when he sees her. Maybe you can have him write her a letter or draw a picture for her. P.S. So sorry about your husband's cousin. Wow. [/QUOTE]
