My 8 Year Old Son's Father Died and He Is So Different Lately, He Needs Help.

right now no matter what ur son needs u call the grandmother n see if u can bring ur son over for a visit since he can't get to now his father physically its not to late for him to have a relationship with his family they can tell him about his father maybe give him something that belonged to him so he can feel close like the other moms have said counseling is also a good idea try that along with what i suggested hopefully it helps. good luck.

I'm so sorry for you guys. I agree with the last poster - talk to the school psychologist. I think he definitely needs counseling. It can only help. This is a big deal for anyone to deal one, especially an 8 year old.

Good luck

He needs to go to counseling. That would be his best bet, but if you go to church they could also recommend something for him, that could be his way of griefing for his father, but please take him for help because he is still young. God Bless I hope I have helped

Firstly, I am sorry for your loss and his. Even if we don't necessarily get along with our ex's, its still hard when someone dies.

I would suggest talking to his school psycologist about this. They are trained to deal with things like this. They would also be able to tell you if they feel he needs more counciling. Whatever you do, make sure you tell him that its OK to be upset and mad and sad...don't let him feel like his feelings aren't important.

Good luck

Hi C., My name is M.. My advice to you is to sit down with your son and explain to him that we have to deal with death in our lifetime, It's hard because he's a child and doesn't understand the concept especially if he did not have a relationship with his dad. You can also try a therapist they can also help him comprehend what happened. It's a very hard for a child to grasp the idea that sometimes the people we love pass away. He may just be grieving and doesn't know how to show his true feelings just give him time, and hopefully he'll get through this just be there for him that way he knows he has you for support. Best of luck. M. A.
