[quote=Anonymous]Offering a slightly different perspective. My grandmother is the last one standing (so to speak), of her generation. Something I've noticed over the years, is that as she lost her siblings, their children, and grandchildren, gravitated towards her, and she welcomed them with open arms. She has a whole host of "children" that she didn't birth, as a result. That substitute figure does not replace a parent that one loses, but they have some of the strongest memories of the lost parent, what they were like as a child, the shenanigans they got up to, and some comfort can apparently be found in learning that history. If you think your mom/dad's siblings, cousins, and other relatives would be open to the idea, reach out to them. Talk to them about your parents, see a side of them that you likely did not know existed. That might help, in addition to grief counseling.[/quote]
