You tell him straight – she has a illness and she will have a long sleep and not see him again – he will take it much better than you will as he doesnt really comprehend the finality of someone dying.
Thoughts are with you
Not this ever ! Probably the worst bit advice on singletrack! Your child will be terrified of going to sleep himself…
Only you know your son and can judge what he will understand there are methods he will understand – honesty but in simple terms.
More importantly OP get help for yourself you are also important- she’s also your world too. Don’t be afraid to show your emotions to your son.
Feel for you I’ve been that young child with my mum.
