[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom died suddenly when I was 16. I learned then that most people fall away, uncomfortable and embarrassed at themselves, if you still show grief or talk too earnestly about the person you lost (especially with tears) must longer than a few weeks after the death. You've got a few weeks, tops, to be a grieving mess, and then people start to fall away. But there will be a few people who WILL be there for you in your extended grief. These will not be the people you would have expected. But these people are REAL friends and you should hang onto them. [/quote] Very true. But this op is about something simpler than that. Just sending a card or some small acknowledgment of a close family members passing is the right thing to do and shows good breeding, whether or not that person is able to continue to engage with sympathy months later [/quote]
