Bereavement

My daughter is 12 and autistic, she has recently lost her Nana who she was extremely close to. My daughter has not cried following this and hasn't wanted to talk about it. Her behaviour is deteriorating and her attitude towards me is horrendous, everything in life is my fault!

I don't know what to do to support her, I am grieving myself (and struggling with loosing my mum) everyday is even more of a battle than usual.

Can anyone offer any advice with a grieving, hormonal, autistic girl please?

Have you tried writing to her. Explain how you're feeling about your mothers death and offer her the chance to write back. I would also say that anger is part of grief and an emotional response that is often overlooked or suppressed because "society" doesn't approve.
