COMMUNICATION WITH SURVIVING CHILDREN

By Mary Cleckley - TCF

If you are fortunate enough to have surviving children, when was the last time you:

- Told them how important they are to you?

- Thanked them for their patience with you during these dark hours?

- Assured them that had it been one of them who died, it would have been just the same?

- Told them that the reason you struggle so hard to survive is because you want to enjoy life with them again?

- Reassured them there will be joy and some happiness in your family’s life again when you have had the necessary time to create your new life?

- If you haven’t told them lately—or even if you have—tell them again. Both you and they need that reassurance.
