[quote=Anonymous]I'm with some PPs who say you have to reach out yourself with first of all, announcing that your parent/sibling has passed and perhaps indeed, have a designated person to say what kind of help you need. It doesn't make any sense to not tell anyone and then be resentful and angry and live in your imaginary expectations world. I'm at the age where a lot of friends parents die, it's normal (old age) and we don't do anything special for each other. I mostly never knew their parents and oftentimes the relationships are complicated, as we get to know on this board. If someone reaches out, as a good friend would, then sure, I'll do my share. But if someone tells me 1/2 year later their parent has passed away, there's not much I can do. And it's true, until you have lost your own parent/sibling, you don't really pay attention to this. Kind of like with a birth of a child. [/quote]
