Hello everyone,
My wonderful father passed away 2.5 years ago from Leukemia after 15 years of battling this horrific disease.
My mom was there for the highs and lows until the end and after over 40 years together, she is not recovering from the loss. I have two daughters (age 2 and 1) and was hoping that it would bring some kind of life into her but sadly, it is not the case. She just want to be with him and I feel sad and exhausted to try to convince her that we are enough.
I have had to carry the excruciating pain of loosing my father and it seems like, that day, I lost both my parents. I feel extremely lonely and I miss both of them.
Any advice to help her cope with the pain? FYI: she is 79.
Thank you!
