How do you assure a child that you aren't going to die? As I was tucking Dragan in for bed, I told him good night and that I would see him in the morning. He then informed me that Gram always says she will see him in the morning. As he teared up he again asked who would be his mom when I went to Heaven. I told him I always would be his mom. He then said when i am gone to Heaven, who would take care of him. I dont know what to say other than that I am not old or sick and wont be leaving him anytime soon. Its awful to listen to the fear in his voice, worrying about being alone at age 5. I wish I couod shelter him from everything. I have been being so strong, not letting on that im upset or crying in front of him or anything. But, he is a smart kid and I cant even imagine what is going on in his mind. God help me and him.

Hugs to Dragan! I think all you can do is reassure him that you are going to be around for a long time.
