Wife's Sister Died

[GranddadHoward]

My wife's sister died after a long struggle with cancer. My wife is devastated because they were close. I don't know what I can do to help her. Can someone suggest something?

I'm really sorry to hear it. You have my condolences. I don't know that there is anything you can except console her and just be there for her. I recommend letting her grieve alone if that's what she wants, but also make sure she knows you are there for her too.

I'm sorry to hear, and you and yours have my sincerest condolences. Each person grives differently. The only thing I can suggest without knowing the person is to make sure she knows you are there if she wants you. Some people may want to grieve alone though. But like 2andalone said, let her know you are there.

I, too, send my condolences to you and your wife. I think the advice already given is very good. I'm not sure there is any more you can do, except possibly get her out of the house now and then, maybe for a walk together if nothing else.
