Julie,
Just a thought. How about writing a story together about your family?

This way, you can address the limbo and give your son a chance how he can choose to react?

Don't be too quick to end the story though. Just keep it open, like how it is in real life.

Don't be too harsh on yourself. School didn't prepare any of us for this.

You can call me Dory/ Grl.

As a wise fish once sang,"Just keep swimming!"

It's no use to go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.
