Jude thought the hardest part would be helping his teenage son survive the sudden loss of his mother. But as sleepless nights stretch on and tensions rise at home, one late-night discovery leaves him wondering whether his home is still a safe place for his son.
Here’s an email we got from Jude:
Hello, Bright Side,
My ex-wife passed away three weeks ago in a car accident. My son Jake (14) was really close to her, and he’s been a mess since.
About a week ago, Jake started having really bad nightmares. He’d wake up screaming and shaking. I started sleeping in his room because it helped.
He could see me, and it calmed him down enough to fall back asleep.
