Just sitting close by, maybe holding their hand is all that is needed to help the bereaved through the cycle of grief. I am sure you are doing an amazing job.

I love my mum so much and I can't imagine what I'm going to be like when she dies, I don't even want to think about it. I am so sorry for your loss- it must have been so hard to suddenly find out about your mum's ill health without any warning. It is true what you say about being grateful for having an amazing mother for a shorter space of time, at least you got to experience that special relationship with her.x Park Bench Poethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02911665395201138076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6845671864009083925.post-69287610939185143072012-12-22T12:05:40.404+00:002012-12-22T12:05:40.404+00:00This post brought a tear to my eye.

I imagine it will feel a little bleak for all my efforts, but that's okay. Like you said, it's stages, and it's much healthier to take your feelings as they come then to bottle them up!

I am ...Thank you Charlotte for your kind comments. I am so sorry to hear of your own loss and I am glad it has helped you to be able to help your partner in his grief, if I can help someone else, however small, during their own grief then my story was worth writing. Also you will find your partner will go through different stages, not necessarily in the order you would expect him too and he may go through them more than once - that is totally normal. I did all the stages; anger, acceptance, bargaining etc and I went through all of them more than once, but you do get there you honestly do. xKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12059059150675699539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6845671864009083925.post-22263710586979561592012-12-21T14:39:20.956+00:002012-12-21T14:39:20.956+00:00This was such a beautifully written post.

My partner's father died in September, and not having had much experience with loss first-hand, I don't really know how he feels or how to help sometimes- reading this helps me understand a little better what the process of grief is like, a little further down the road then we are now. I'm really sorry for your loss, thank you for having the bravery to write about it xxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6845671864009083925.post-3884276443283883402012-12-17T13:14:43.919+00:002012-12-17T13:14:43.919+00:00Thank you for the lovely comment Jennie.
