[QUOTE="butterflydreams, post: 167574"] Hi Alli, I just wanted to say welcome! You have landed in a very loving and caring place! It's good that you are getting your daughter help. My childrens father and my husband of 16 years died unexpectedly in 2005. My difficult child son was 9 and my easy child daughter was 12 (he died 11 days before her 13th b-day). Anyway, my kids were very close to their dad too - he was their primary caregiver while I worked outside the home for awhile (he was home because of a back injury) and did everything with them. I difficult child had certain problems before his dad died (including signs I didn't see at the time, but looking back now see), but I believe that his death was the catalyst that sent my son on the journey that will affect him the rest of his life. My difficult child has had alot of problems with grief too. One of his diagnoses is actually pathological grief - which is unresolved grief. His dad's death is a very touchy subject for him, and during counseling sessions usually can't handle very much along the subject without shutting down. If your daughter isn't in some kind of counseling, I would encourage you to get her into counseling. I would also make sure that your 6 year old gets into counseling too, she may seem somewhat fine now, but it's better safe than sorry regarding the grief. My heart goes out to you and your children.
