Answer 2

How very terrible for you and your family especially your two children. I am a survivor of both my parents having committed suicide. Without going into details I think that the best advise to you is to get professional counseling/therapy for the whole family especially your two children. I never received professional help and had to deal with my experiences on my own. I turned out OK but have deep rooted problems, that may have been eliminated had I had some type of professional help.
Remember that loving them is the most important thing you can help to ease the pain. What you and your family have gone through is unbearable ( I know ). It seems like things well never get better, and it will take a long time but eventually the pain will decrease. It will never go away, but it will seem more bearable.
I will say a prayer for you. God please help this poor family with the massive pain that they are suffering through.....amen

Answer 4

What a horrible experience for you all.The hole family has been through a horrendous shock and very traumatic episode.This needs to be taken care of now ASAP,for all concerned,ask the ICU staff to arrange a visit with the hospital based "crisis team".Access to good councilors will be the key to help you all heal and be able to face the future what ever the outcome. God bless you. SW RNP

Answer 5

I'm very sorry to hear your story. You definitely need to get into some family counseling and find some support. It is important that the children understand that it is not their fault. (Kids tend to internalize things.) If you have close friends and a good support group, now is the time to call them in. May God bless and keep you and your family during this difficult time.

Answer 6

Bless you, Bekki, and your family. I can only suggest you talk with the Social Worker connected to the hospital and ask for help for yourself and your children and family. Meanwhile, be sure you share LOTS of hugs and let everyone cry, especially with the kids but also your sister and other family. No doubt you are doing this anyway, but sometimes shock can make us forget and we need reminders. Prayer is very important too.

Answer 7

Get your sister and daughters in immediate counseling for witnessing this terrible trauma. If you get thim in counseling now, they may be able to overcome this acute trauma disorder without developing Post Traumatic Stress down the road.

I know that there may be more pressing matters to deal with, but this is extremely important to do.

Answer 8

you all need psychotherapy now. Someone needs to remain level headed. If your father is brain dead, then you need to let the staff know that he is a DNR. For the living you need to get the children to their pediatrician first, then have him refer a psychiatrist/psychologist for therapy. Your sister - talk with her and see how she is doing. As an adult, she can seek mental help on her own.

Answer 9

Counselling ASAP, don't force them too talk, just make feel comfortable enough to ask questions, make sure that your not snappy at them for asking questions. If you don't feel like answering it just say that I'm upset right now and will answer your question later. I went thru the same thing for 10 years. But my dear counselling is the best.

Answer 10

OMG, I am so sorry, I would personally put them in theapy for a little while, other wise they are going to be mentally scared forever
