This is unbelievable. ....

Hello Ladies!

I find this situation unbelievable so I thought I would share with you.

A few months ago a young girl (early 20s ) passed away in her sleep. She left behind parents, many siblings/ half siblings and a 3 yr son.

Two weeks ago a co-worker attended the sons 3rd Birthday party. She dated the deceased brother for some time and is still close to the family. The child kept asking if his Daddy was coming to his party and if he was going to bring his Mommy. My co-worker froze, she thought she heard wrong but the child kept asking everyone.

She questioned her ex-boyfriend and the Grandma. Apparently, nobody knows how to tell the child his Mother is dead. So, they just keep telling him she is busy or working. I am stunned just stunned! The Grandma said at first he asked for her all the time but not so much now. This poor child lived full time with his mother just the two of them and now all of a sudden she just has disappeared from his life. How can they be doing this to him? There is just so much wrong with situation. It makes want to cry and scream and......so much more.

That is the wrong thing to do.

Wow, while I think it's wrong, I don't know what I would do if I were a family member of the child.

[Lilysma719]

That's terrible. They need to tell him the truth.

That is just horrendous and a sure fire way to f**k that kid up forever.

That is sad. They're only prolonging the inevitable and delaying his right to grieve.

Good god. Do they not think it's going to be twice as bad telling the kid when he's older and will also understand they've been lying to him about his mother being DEAD?

[Spunky]

So sad. They just need to tell him mommy got sick and God took her to heaven.

I hope they can afford therapy. How cruel.

You’re getting all of this second hand. Maybe the child has been told but doesn’t understand death.
