  1. I am so sorry for your loss - grief due to death is one of the worst things a person can go through in their life. Grief due to divorce is very close to it, only different. I can honestly say that the divorce I went through 25 years ago with the father of my 2 children is the worst experience I've had in my life. It took me 4 years to feel some what normal again, and while I did eventually remarry, he never replaced the loss I felt about losing the father of my children. I have more recently lost 2 other members of my to death, and perhaps I can handle it better because I've matured in the last 25 years, but it has not been as difficult as that divorce 25 years ago! I think each person gauges / handles / mourns losses differently, so while for you the loss of your father to death is the WORST, that may not be true for someone else. Just know that all of us mourn in our own way, and I pray for everyone that seeks help on this board. Just reading your stories have lifted my spirits & made me feel part of a caring community. Thank you all---
  2. my grandchild age 7 lost her mother almost two months ago. The other children have shown some of the "documented" signs of grief, and I understand everyone grieves differently, but I am concerned for her as she seems to be "begging" for pity much of the time. She has told me more than once that she loves all the spoiling she has been getting as a result of her mothers death. Two days ago, she went with me to the Post Office to mail a package to granddad for fathers day, and she blurted out to the clerk that she wished she could go shopping for grandpa with her mom, but her mom is dead! She seemed to be asking the clerk to feel sorry for her. Is this normal? I have found nothing like this behavior mentioned on any of the bereavement sites I have visited. I am unsure whether I should suggest counseling for her to my grieving son, or just accept it as another stage of the process. What do you all think? Thanks for any advice you can give!!
