It's been a difficult summer. My marriage (as noted in previous posts) has had a shaky past. Now it's been about 3 months since he left us.
He was in 8th grade, everyone liked him. Always made people smile and laugh. Then one day he's gone.
Our 6 year old is now without an older brother. My wife is without a son. I am trying to keep it together.
We've been seeing a therapist since. She's helped in a way.
My big concern is our 6 year old. He doesn't want to give hugs, because he doesn't get hugs from his brother anymore. I think he's afraid to show love, worried he will loose one of us. The trouble is, life has no guarantees and I can't promise him we'll always be there for him. What if one day we aren't.
