Celine Dion’s Husband’s Death: Son Rene-Charles Having “Difficult” Time
It's been one week since the world learned that Celine Dion's husband, Rene Angelil, died from throat cancer, and it appears the couple's eldest son, Rene-Charles, is having a "difficult" time with his father's death.
According to People, a source close to the family claimed that Dion's 14-year-old is taking Angelil's death the hardest because he's a teenager and understands what's actually going on with his family more than his five-year-old twin brothers, Eddy and Nelson.
"René-Charles being a teenager has had a more difficult time with the situation than the twins, who are so young," the source explained.

Despite her grieving, Dion is trying to remain strong for her children, the singer's stylist, Annie Horth, claimed, "I know Celine truly believes that he will eternally be with her and with the kids through everything."
Dion's husband died a few days before his birthday last week after battling throat cancer for years. The Las Vegas singer also lost her brother, Daniel Dion, just two days after her husband died. The 59-year-old also lost his battle with cancer. His funeral is set for Monday, January 25 at the Saint-Simon-et-Jude Church in Charlemagne, a suburb of Montreal, Canada.
