My wife has just had a call, to tell her her uncle has passed away. As both of her parents passed away years ago, her aunt and uncle were like parents to her. Understandably she is upstairs crying her her eyes out. I have been comforting her, but she says she wants time alone Quite frankly I don't know what to do or say, I have never been in this position before, could anyone offer any advice please
Take her a nice cup of tea and let her know that you are there for her. Then, let her grieve her way. There is nothing more you can do.
Its a tough one. Just let her know that you are there for her if she needs you and give her the time and space she needs. Shell be ok.
Lost my mother to Breast Cancer last year and one it hurts just as if it was yesterday...in saying that Just sit there and listen to her, be there for her she will come around in time. Hours before my mother passed away I asked her what she wanted me to do for her and all she said was "just live and enjoy your life".
Yep. Very gently tell her if she needs anything you're there. An leave her be alone. Not a thing u can do bro.
Thank you, and thanks to everyone else that gave advice, she didn't sleep very well last night, but seems to be doing ok this morning
Glad to hear she seems to be doing better today. It will still take time and patience on your part. Kindness and embraces while respecting her need to grieve will help her get through this more than anything else. I know what you are going through and how rough it can be. Your wife and you are in our prayers brother.
Sorry to hear about your lost EA. The best advise has been given. Prayers for hope, strength, healing & understands have been sent up your way.
Sorry to hear about her lose...imho sometimes the best word spoken is the word not spoken.....people don't want to hear things like "Their in a better place" and things like that...just let her know that you are there for her and will help in anyway you can...personally speaking I lost my Mom 4 yrs ago to a heart attack and then lost my Step Father 2 yrs ago in a car crash...and let me tell you...my Wife couldn't even say the best of words to replace the hurt and pain I felt...when my Mom passed and we got home from Fla after the burial..I stayed in bed for 3 straight days crying and didn't even care...it was my healiing time...maybe she needs that as well...God Bless you and her as well.....<><
