I got a letter from Hospice today. On November 7th, they are holding a memorial service at a local church for people who have passed away in the past 6 months. My MIL passed on June 8th, this year. (Yesterday would have been her birthday). I want to go, but am not sure how well I will hold up. My daughter says she will go with me. :)) I sent a copy to my son and DIL incase they can go, but they live and work quite aways from here, and in retail, so with the holidays approaching, they might not be able to get time off.
My husband is still in his own little world concerning his moms' death. He has not been to the cemetart, and doesn't talk about her unless I bring her up. Then, he only listens to me and makes as few comments as possible.
I know that we have to handle things in our own way, but I worry about him. I know that he was close to his mom.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Your husband reminds me a great deal after my boyfriend died. I never mentioned Mike much for after he passed unless someone mentioned him. It was only a year ago I actually went to the cemetary where he was buried. For me, it mean accepting his death as real.
I am not sure what to recommend as I wasn't given a lot of choice in starting to deal with things... some friends found out I wasn't and kept at me until the pain of the reality began to overwhelm me.
You & your family are in my thoughts & prayers.
If you want to go, go. If your husband isn't reaching out for help - he might not want it. Everyone handles grief in their own way.
Don't add drama to what you are already dealing with.
You do what you feel is right for you.
My husband would never ever go to anything like that I can's really talk to him about by Mom's death he just says I am feeling sorry for myself that everyone has to die sometime.
Needful
On the other hand, women generally want social contact for support through emotional stress. And that is not bad or weak, as some men perceive it, because for them it is bad or weak. It is just different.
My husband does the same as yours yet I found him crying at 4 a.m. shortly after mom died. He said he grieved at night and alone. If I bring mom up he has one worded answers. He was very good to mom. He liked to tease her and she let him.
So please go. I agree with the others.
God bless you during this very hard time--Hospice is a wonderful organization--talk to them about your situation.
