Yesterday I got a call from a grief counselor, asking me if I had support--I explained (through tears) that "my husband starts to MOAN, (I cant stand it) my Nieces change the subject when I mention Mitchels name, my Sisters and Brothers have passed on".

My boyfriend (future fiance) lost his mother yesterday morning - while it was somewhat expected after a 9 month illness, we truly expected a few more months, not later the night we had visited her.
