[quote=Anonymous]This sounds a lot like my mother’s behavior when my dad died several years ago. I was so tied up managing her emotions that I don’t recall processing my own grief until much later. The irony is she wasn’t even kind to my dad when he got sick. She was also very bitter at being a relatively young widow in her early 70s, when all her friends were traveling and enjoying retired life with their spouses. I recall her becoming enraged when I told her we taking our young kids on a planned family vacation several months after my dad’s death. It was as if we couldn’t move forward. Empathy, patience, and a bit of distance eventually helped. Best of luck to you and I’m sorry for your loss. [/quote]
