[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 246576, member: 3444"] You've been through this before which is probably why it's so hard to do again; even if he isn't your bio son, it felt like he was. There's no "supposed to" way to behave when you are grieving. Everybody copes in their own very personal way. Don't be so hard on yourself for your feelings. Your boss IS a boob and probably never lost anyone close to him before. As for Steven's mom, I bet just knowing how much you loved her son and how special he was to your family and Dude is comforting for her. You sharing her pain will maybe make it a little more bearable. Knowing SHE is not alone in her grief, and knowing that her son's memory will be cherished by people who loved him as much as she does. I don't think that hiding your pain from her helps anyone. Continuing to send up prayers and major hugs to you, and Dude and Steven's family during this tough time. You are all so fortunate to have eachother, just as Steven was to have all of you in his life. [/QUOTE]
