[quote=Anonymous]My husband's mom died after a terrible decline from brain cancer. So by the time she died she hadn't been able to move or talk for weeks. It was absolutely awful. So when she died there was some sense of relief that she wasn't trapped anymore. My husband grieved a lot when she was first diagnosed and when we realized the tumor had spread despite treatment. There's also a sense of delayed grief. Her birthday was hard, the first Christmas was hard, the birth of our second kid after she had died was hard. Little things like that. When a close aunt of mine died I actually didn't really grieve about it until a week or so later because I was primarily focusing on my Dad who was shaken up by his younger sister dying. [/quote]
