So sorry for your family's loss Griff. Losing a child is something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. That's the same age my daughter was when I lost her. I think it's even harder (if that's possible) when you lose a child that required a lot of attention, because you're suddenly left without nearly as much to do on a daily basis. My son started school just a couple of months after my daughter died and I went from having two very active little ones all day to having none most of the day, and that was very hard. I found myself being drunk and seeking that comfortably numb state every day by the time school got out until I pulled my head out, and realized that my son needed me more than ever. Stay in touch with your nephew's parents....most people seem to "go away" soon after the funeral.....
