[quote=Anonymous]We just went through this before my FIL passed. At first MIL pretended the whole situation wasn't happening. But finally- she offered some help. She became more emotionally supportive just by allowing her kids to talk about it and she just listened, second she babysat the kids a couple of times so we could deal with FIL, and finally, she helped one afternoon when we were going through his pictures and old memorabilia. Honestly- these are the types of help we got from friends and other family. It wasn't special or different because she was once married to him. It was just the sort of help you would offer to any close friend or family member going through a difficult time. I am sure it was a bit uncomfortable for her at times- but I was glad she moved past that and was able to be there for her kids in their time of need.[/quote]
