How do I help my mother in law?
From Nancy -
I lost my husband age 43, in March 2009 to a disease that has not only taken his life but also his father before him. I am writing in behalf of my mother-in-law who had to see her husband die to the same disease that her son has died from. This is her second child, her baby boy her everything. It hurts to see her go thru the pain that she has endured. I don’t know what it’s like to lose a child but I do know what it’s like to lose someone you truly love. I was hoping that I could get some help, if anyone out there have any suggestions.
She didn’t want to go to counseling but I think my sister-in-law has finally convinced her to go. She is struggling with this and it hurts to see her go thru this. I know that each of us go thru our own greiving process and that we deal with it so differently, but I would like to know if there are any books out there that I could get for her. Anything that would help her deal with her loss. I wish I could bring him back but it was his time to go.
