Today, after my 5-year-old finally got over his grandmother's death, we went to a store and saw a lady that looked exactly like her. She came up to us asking if we saw her grandson; I can't get my son to stop freaking out. FML

Today, at work, I served a customer who looked so much like my grandma that I thought it actually was her. Then I remembered she died 6 months ago. I had to serve customers with a smile on my face while choking back tears for the rest of the day. FML

Today, at my mother's funeral, as everyone was around her casket for the viewing, my 5-year-old son in cluelessness of what was going on shouted, "Grandma is more fun when she isn't sleeping." Everyone cried. FML

Today, at my grandmother's funeral, my senile grandfather kept asking me "Where's granny? I've been looking for her, but I can't find her." FML

A teacher's burden

Today, a parent came into my class and told one of my 6 year-old students that their grandma died. Then the parent left. The kid started crying from the news, which then got all the other students crying. I spent the rest of the day comforting a class of kids crying over someone else's grandma. FML

Today, I'm beginning to regret explaining death to my 3-year-old son. We were at the supermarket when he looked at an elderly woman and loudly told her "You're gonna die soon!" FML

Today, while at my aunt's funeral, my grandma who has terrible memory loss asked me whose funeral we were at. I had to explain to her that her daughter had died. FML

Today, I told my grandmother I was planning a trip to take my newborn son to meet his great-great-grandfather before it was too late. She had a guilty expression on her face. My great-grandfather died 4 months ago and my family forgot to tell me. FML

Today, my phone made a random noise. I jokingly said, "Wow, I wonder who died now?" Turns out it was my son's grandmother. I had to explain it because I screamed. I also got to tell his dad that his mom just died. FML

Awe I'm so sorry that your son has to go through that. Death is such a difficult concept to grasp, even when you're older :/

That sounds traumatic. Hopefully time will erase this memory. Maybe you should do something fun with him soon to help it along. Good luck.

If by "a guy," you mean "a 5-year-old."

Im the mother of a young child and I can't begin to imagine trying to handle that akward of a situation much less trying to explain it to the complex mind of a 5-year-old.

I have a five year old myself and I don't know what Id do in that situation.. Poor little thing. :(

I'm not sure of your beliefs, but maybe telling him that even though his grandma isn't around anymore, he'll still be able to feel her in his heart. That she's looking out for him and sometimes might send him signs that will remind him of her to show him she loves and misses him too. I'm sorry for your loss, I hope your son is doing okay!

In what possible manner can someone get a "you deserve this"... Can any of these thumbs down people explain what I am missing?

They're trolls. People who choose ydi for every article because having a life is too hard for some people.

There's also no way to "unclick" it if you clicked it by accident. You can click both buttons and have it register, but you can't take it back if you didn't mean to click it. At least, it doesn't work on my computer.
