Dear James

My six-week old grandson died last year unexpectedly. My daughter is only just keeping it together - she has a little more fight as she has since had a baby girl.

Could you tell me if my grandson is ok and is he with someone who looks after him. I think I would just like to know everything will be ok for my children and granddaughters.

Dear Lynda

I am so sorry to hear about your loss and my belief is your grandson will be looked after.

Your daughter is very strong and lot like you. I know it’s hard for her to open up but you just have to be there for her.

Take some strain off her to look after the baby but remember she is the mother. If you can advise her to go and see a councillor as we do open up better to a stranger.

It’s hard as you know when you lose someone, but when it’s a baby is seems even harder for the mother and grandmother. You be strong and be a support and your family will be ok.
