[quote=Anonymous]Agreed, pp. And just to clarify: the only ones comparing and ranking the grief are the two women...constantly...and we are on the sidelines observing these awkward debates. The widow is young and happily remarried (and candidly, she was on the cusp of leaving her first husband when he unexpectedly passed away). And she's usually the instigator of the scenes. The woman who lost her child is older and struggling with the loss (young adult child died in an accident). And everyone is at a loss as to what to say. After being together over the holidays and observing this, I feel like someone should say something to the widow. I'm trying to light a fire under a relative to do that (since I don't live near them and rarely see them since they live abroad). But my relative doesn't know what to say. It's a tough and bizarre situation. [/quote]
