A reader writes: My husband and I are dealing with his mother's grief over losing his father (her husband), who passed away last month in a wonderful hospice in another state. I have visited your online grief support website, and although it helps calm my nerves somewhat to see that other widows are experiencing the same acute grief emotions as my mother-in-law, we are at a loss for how to help and support her most effectively when she is in one state and we live in another. We are concerned that she definitely needs one-on-one grief counseling, but she is so distraught that she cannot even call her doctor and arrange it, or even speak with the wonderful, supportive people at the hospice there. What can we do from a distance?
