    Mildez- sorry that your sis now walks the path of a bereaved mum, I wouldn't wish it on anyone, it's such a demanding journey of such pain and at times wonderous beauty... I am sure she found a way to tell her older son.

    I am sorry that you're also grieving the death of your nephew.

    How are you going with supporting your sister? It's hard huh? Even after all my experiences, I still feel at a loss sometimes at how best to support an angel mumma.

    I know you'll do a good job, today and every day that your sis and nephew need you.

    So sorry to read this sad news.

    Have had to do this twice. My advice is to be honest. Children really appreciate honesty and cope so much better than adults. I find it is better to be as open about a loss as it is as you would a happy event.

    Lots of love to your sister and her family.
