I am new to this forum so please bear with me. I lost my son in law 6 months ago which left my daughter a young widow with two small children. I am helping her practically with dealing with her grief but don’t know how to deal with my own & the utter feeling of sadness I have that consumes me. I can’t deal with sympathy from others, I just really need to speak to someone who understands how I feel please

It hit my mam really hard she struggled seeing her daughter in so much pain, then her 3 grandkids 21,19, and 11 hurting I could see it in her. I have no idea how she’s dealing with it

Hello @Kellig - thank you for reaching out. I’m so sorry for the loss of your son-in-law - that is devastating.
I wanted to share this thread that @Vanjaarsveld recently posted: coming to terms with losing someone dear You might want to connect with them, as they have also experienced the recent loss of their son-in-law and may understand some of what you are going through.
Take good care and I hope you find the community to be a support to you - you are not alone.

Hi, thanks for your message.
I am so sorry that you are facing a future without your husband but the memories you can still make must be so important to you.
Yes my daughter is part of WaY But she is yet to use the full benefits of the support.
I am waiting for counseling to start; I hope it will be available soon.

It was my daughters anniversary a couple of weeks ago, they would have been married 5 years. I went away with her & my grandchildren for the weekend to try & take our mind off it. It was hard but we enjoyed it through the children. I just feel so helpless as I can take things better & I think about the life they won’t all have together as a four rather than the life they do have as a three. It’s so hard. Then I feel guilty when I do things that make me happy
