[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 137326, member: 393"] [COLOR=Black][B]There is no right or wrong way in comforting - it's all about just being there for your mom or your children. AND taking time to grieve yourself. This may sound horrible but the day after my mother died & we were planning her funeral we started telling stories & cracking up at the funeral home. The funeral director, god bless him, just waited us out. After the laughter came the tears & then the strength to get through the next few days. The hardest part will be after the funeral & everyone has left; no one calls to check in after a month or so. That is when your mom will need the support, the ear - sometimes you become the punching bag & others you become a comforting blanket to your mom. I saw it with my dad & my siblings. I'm sorry for your loss - expected or not. Losing a parent is losing a big part of your life. [/B][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
