[quote=Anonymous]My eldest was 14 when my husband was killed in a car crash. It complicated matters that she was my stepdaughter and my late DH was in the process of getting full custody (later awarded to me). It was a rocky time and I floated the idea of grief counseling to her which she turned down but some months later I made an appointment for her and just took her. What she originally resisted helped a lot. It can take time. You're already being very gentle with her which is the best thing, OP. I wish you and your family well.[/quote]
