Sissy took it so hard

I picked the kids up and brought them to the hospital so they could say goodbye to him. We let the boys go in first, and watching them say goodbye was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do.
Then I took Sissy in. She stood there for a few minutes just looking at him, like she was trying to understand what was happening. Then she climbed into the bed and wrapped her arms around him.
That was an hour ago, and she still won’t let him go.
I keep trying to get her to come with me, but she just holds on tighter and keeps saying, “No, thank you. I want to go with him and meet Spencer.”
I don’t know what to tell her. I don’t know how to make her understand something that I don’t even understand myself.
She just wants to stay with him. She doesn’t want to say goodbye. And I don’t know how to break her heart and tell her she has to let him go.
I wish more than anything I could make this hurt less for her. I wish I could take all of this pain away from these kids and carry it myself.
Watching your child hold onto someone they love and knowing they have to say goodbye is a kind of pain I don’t think I’ll ever be able to put into words.
I don’t know what to do. I just want to hold her and make this nightmare stop. 💔

Tell her he is just going home? Maybe show her the video i posted?
Let her stay, sometimes saying goodbye takes a while. 😢

I was lying in bed thinking about how hard Sissy was going to take the news.
She has made such progress through the love of her father and you, Joel.
No one can be prepared for such a devastating tragedy.
Maybe ask Grandma to help Sissy?

@Gusman Grandma and Star are on their way to help me. I’m so thankful they’re coming because I honestly don’t know what to do right now.
I’m afraid I’m going to have to force Sissy to let him go soon, and that is something I never imagined I would have to do. She is holding onto him so tightly and just keeps saying she wants to go with him and Spencer.
My heart is breaking for her. I don’t want to pull her away from him. I just don’t know how to make her understand that she has to let go. 💔

@Cigarguys Let us hope that Grandma's soothing words can manage to help Sissy through this heartbreak.
Tears are falling from my eyes.
@Cigarguys I am glad Grandma and Star are coming. You need help. It’s hard enough to deal with your own pain. Adding three children to that is a lot. I am confident you can do it, one day at a time.

Praying for you all.
