My sister just called me very distraught because her kindergarten has started to have reoccurring nightmares every night. She's experienced several family members deaths in the last year and now is dreaming that my sister dies. She said she goes and consoles her every night (wakes up screaming/shaking at 11 and can't even look at my sister.)

She refuses to talk about her dreams but my sister was able to find out it involved her dying through a series of questions. She's noticed an increase of separation anxiety during the day "are you picked me up from school" "will you be waking me up in the morning" ect.

I'm not finding a lot so far in a quick search, but has anyone dealt with this, how did you help them overcome. The worst part is her grandpa (my BIL dad) is on hospice for cancer, so she will be having another death very soon, number 5 within a year.
