What is best?

Mil died about two weeks ago now.

Dh is devastated.

What is best for him?

Do I leave him alone?

He's sleeping a lot. Gets ratty if there is anything real life to be done with the dcs or dogs. It's still very raw.

I've told the dcs not to ask anything of him. I give him lots of hugs and tell him and I am there to talk. He knows this.

Will he come out of his shell in his own time?

Just give him time OP. Offer him nice food, cups of tea etc and don’t be offended if he doesn’t eat much of it. Lots of gentle hugs and the offer to talk if he wants to, maybe a walk in the fresh air if he’s up to it.

Everyone is different when grieving and it can be hard on those around them too ( you and dc ) because it can feel like you’re walking on eggshells. Look after yourself too.
