My sons, daughter

Since my son, Jeremy died from a drug overdose in 2009 on Thanksgiving Day, his daughter does not say his name and doesn't remark when I talk about him.  I don't know if she is afraid of upsetting me or herself but I want to share with her the good memories I have of her Daddy.  She is only twelve so perhaps the funeral was so traumatic that it makes her sad to talk about her daddy....I don't know what to do if anything.

Thank you so much for responding Vicki and Panni...sometimes I feel like I am walking this road all alone and no one has any answers.  Thank you for validatig how I feel about trying to talk to my granddaughter about her Daddy.  I know our sons never meant for them to loose their lives but drugs seem to overpower a person's mind.  I try to bring up happy memories and show my granddaughter pictures of her Daddy and what he was interested in and what a great person he was to me and everyone.  My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your families too.

Thank you again,

Charlotte

Movies about grief that actually understand loss — any recommendations?

Hi everyone  I’m new here and honestly never thought I’d need a space like this, but here I am. I’ve been living with grief for a while now, and some days it’s quiet, some days it hits out of nowhere.Lately I’ve been watching movies about loss and grief - not to make myself sad on purpose, but to feel understood. Sometimes seeing grief on screen helps when it’s hard to explain what’s going on inside. The problem is that many “grief movie lists” online feel very surface-level or overly dramatic,…See More
