How best to support Dad’s partner coping with loss of him

After a short battle my Dad passed away on the 13th. It may sound stupid but I don’t know how best to support his partner. He was her world and I honestly don’t know how to support her. She has been there every day and every step fighting with him and for him. Even though I’m grieving too I can only imagine that for her it’s tenfold, grieving not just for the loss of him but their life together, as a best friend, their future etc and I want to do what I can for her. I feel I have a good enough support network for myself that I can do that. She has two children (mid teens and 20) but very little beside that. Any help/advice would be wonderful. The internet didn’t have many tips on what I could do. Thank you x

  • Hi there ...

    And how wonderfull ... there's so many times people fall out after losing a loved one .. and here you are, wanting to help .. your amazing and a wonderful example of how things can be ..

    I would think just by being there, and and every text /call/ visit will tell her you care .. we can't take someone's pain away, but we can hold their hand ... and don't try to over think it ... just do what your heart tells you .. bet your dad is very proud of his girl ... 

    Big nanny hug for a brave caring lass ... Chrissie x
