[QUOTE="Deni D, post: 738958, member: 22840"] In a similar situation with a close relative I found that being there and letting them talk about whatever they want to helped, when they wanted to talk. Remembrances, concerns, guilt all that comes up without giving them any platitudes seemed to be best. Also in your situation you should give yourself some care and time to deal with feelings that may come up for you. You probably have spent a lot of time worrying about a similar outcome for yourself and your family. So it might be good to be sure you take time to do what it is you do for yourself for a little grounding if you feel you need it. I needed it for myself. [/QUOTE]
