Know there’s a lot of celebrating going on in here (as there should be) and I fscking hate being a buzz kill but, like it or not, you assholes have become this level of friend in my life.
My wife’s best friend just died from cancer, about 3 or 4 months after one of her other good friends also died from cancer.

It’s so horrible because I can’t think of the words to say to my mid 30’s wife but then I completely freak out about what I’m going to say to my mid 3 year old son tomorrow. He’s old enough to remember who important people are but now I have to explain again about how another person he knows won’t ever be here again.

Married, yes. Kids, no.
She/they were on the fence about kids after marriage but she very quickly got diagnosed with breast cancer for the first time after their wedding.
Beat it once and thought they’d try for kids and quickly lost the ability for it to physically happen but beat it again for the second time. Unfortunately, third time was the charm.

You can't think of the words because there are no words, at least for your wife. I don't now how you even begin to explain it to a 3 year old, other than that I'm convinced that even kids that young can tell when they're being bullshltted, so as honestly and openly as possible. He will probably actually be more upset and/or frightened by your wife's grief than he will her missing friend. So maybe you take the angle that you need him to be a big boy so the two of. you can help support mom together while she gets through this awful time. That's a whole lot more accessible conversation than Son Let Me Explain To You What Death Is.

Really sorry your family has to go through this. It sucks.

The only thing I know for sure about grief is that a family has got to try to find a way to go through it together, leaning on each other, rather than being a collection of separate people sitting in separate rooms waiting for it to be over.

This was a really challenging thing for my brother and I when our dad passed in ‘07. We didn’t grieve the same way because we are a lot different. My brother didn’t want to talk to anyone about it or let anyone in after that. He went into a bad depression for a while. He finally let go and our bond grew tremendously because of it, but it was a tough road to get to that point.
