One mom is sharing a concerning story online this week. Her father-in-law recently died, and the whole family is really upset. Well, that is, except for her 5-year-old son. It turns out that the grandpa and his grandson were really close, so the fact that the kid isn’t responding with a lot of emotion to his grandfather’s death is really upsetting:

“When I say close I mean like, he was there every single weekend, FIL visited during the week. They were as close as two people can be.

“When FIL passed, I picked my 5yo up from school, and I told him I had something sad to tell him, and I told him. He immediately cried and continued to cry for about 20 minutes. Once he was around family again it subdued and he sorta just hasn’t really cared since.”

This has to be hard! Like the rest of us, children grieve in different ways. But to not express anything at all is kind of worrying, right?
