Subject: RE: BS: When your partner's mum dies
Don't be afraid to talk about your own memories of her. Don't be afraid to show your own grief. Be there, give hugs when needed, strokes when needed, allow the tears on both sides to flow. Be prepared for the fact that the grief will never entirely go and anniversaries will be difficult times, as will some birthdays and some Christmasses.
We went through this four years ago - we still sometimes shed tears together.
