My daughter-in-law is so sad and lonly. Her whole life revolved around my son. She needs a young mom with young children to make contact with her. She gave up all of her friends for a better life as wife and mommy and many of her old school friends are using drugs and are not people she wants to be around. All she has is her mom and me. My daughters are no help to either of us. Please if anyone has been in this place(grieving a husband with a two year old and a 4 month old baby),please look for CassieH she has a page and needs friends who know what she is feeling. That would be so nice : ) Love and Prayers to all of you~Julie

what about a single moms group where she can meet other moms for playdates. I dont know how yyou feel about Craigslist but maby start there in activity partners area. When I was in gard school I didnt have any friends and didnt know anybody inthe city so I went to a "girlfriends" activity group and have made some of the best friends ever to explore the city with and do fun g/f stuff. Good Luck.

You can even utilize Facebook for people who share her interest and those that are in her area for socializing with the children, etc. in order to make new friends.
Has she attended any grief recovery programs that might be in your area or close enough by for her or actually both of you. She may feel like going if you were with her. Just a thought. I am so sorry for everyone's loss here. All the stories are so very sad and they do leave such an empty place in our hearts. The main thing is for her to find new company that is not beneath the quality of life she is trying to maintain for herself and her children. Many people never get rid of those "old" friends that will do nothing but drag them down. And she and her children deserve better than that. I think she is very blessed to have a MIL that loves her enough to be helping her as you are when you are hurting so deeply yourself. May God bless you and your family.
