My mums husband of 34yrs died of a heart attack on saturday while on holiday aged 62
My brother and I drove up to her just as air ambulance was leaving
He was still in the holiday cottage as they could do no more
We stayed the night with her and drove her home the day after
Funeral is booked now for 30th September
My children are both in uni and very upset at this news both are traveling home next week
My mum and I are not close she left us 3 children and our dad for her now husband but she was a good grandma and he a good grandad and I feel it's my duty to help her but I feel so useless
I hug her and helped with practical stuff but this is going to go on for ages (the grief) it's very new atm but I need to be there for a few years
Any advice from widows on the stages of grief and what I could do
Thank you
