HI-
I'm new to this forum, but am impressed by the support you all give. Well done!
My mom died at 48, still not sure how. My dad died in his sleep 10 years later. Both times I noticed the same thing. Most of those around me wanted to help, but didn't really know what to do.
I am writing a book about this. My publisher needs the final copy in 8 weeks!
I was hoping some of you would share what helped and what didn't. Most of the book describes ways to help the grieving, but I'm also including a list of things you should never say. I mean, really. If one more person told me they knew exactly how I felt, I might have hurt them:)
Thanks so much.
