Explaining illness/death to autistic child

[TC Devon]

Found out today that it’s looking incredibly likely he won’t last the 7 months. It’s moving or growing v quickly.
I’m in pieces. I cried in the gym, I cried in costa. I hate that I’m so far away and helpless. I can’t get there, my husband is working this weekend, I ve no one to have the children and it’s not appropriate to take them.

Sorry to hear your news.
Don't worry about crying it's a natural reaction. I always think tears are better out than kept inside.
Children are far more resilient than we think with things like this.
Sending lots of hugs your way.
