I continue to reassure him that I will love him always, no matter what he does, no matter what. I tell him how much I would miss him if he was gone.

He doesn't have asthma. He does have seasonal allergies but he rarely takes any allergy medicine for it. He takes chewable Claritin. He wouldn't tolerate any of the ones you squirt in the nose.

Glad the meeting went well, but reassurance is not enough for a child talking about feeling worthless and dying.

First, don't assume that Claritin can't be harmful because it doesn't require a prescription.

Please continue to pursue the root cause of your son's feelings. There is something causing them. It could be medical, it could be a life event, it could something we can't even guess, but it is important.
