Re: Coping with grief.
That’s very sad carol, it’s surprising how quickly people can deteriorate with dementia, I’m not sure what I can suggest other than to keep reminding her of all the good and happy times they had together, perhaps if she has any photos and memories of things they shared together, grief is a funny thing, it affects people differently, perhaps over time and with the support of good friends like you, and her family around her, she might feel a bit more herself, if you know what I mean, .Re: Coping with grief.
Hi Carol coping with bereavement is a very individual thing and we each have to do it in our own way in our own time.Re: Coping with grief.
Oh Carol that is so sad, they were obviously a devoted couple.Re: Coping with grief.
Carol we have a friend whose husband died last Sunday. He had a very bad heart attack and was found on the kitchen floor, by his son who had to tell his mother! My sister stayed with her till Monday & she had a few visitors but after a few days we persuaded her to do some shopping rather than stay at home alone. When she was home she was so sad and lonely so my sister and other friends are going to encourage her to go out for lunch with them, after the funeral, and for a few weeks to get her into a routineRe: Coping with grief.
Two weeks after B's death she seemed to be coping. We went a walk together & sat in the park with a flask of coffee that I'd made.Re: Coping with grief.
