If you have lost a parent, how would you have wanted to have been supported by your spouse at that time?
With our sitch as it is, she is clear that she does not want to "be smothered" right now - hugs, a shoulder to cry on etc are not in the picture.
I am helping wherever I can to make sure she has time to spend with her Mom, freeing up time to make sure she can make the trip, etc. I am also visiting her mom myself next week since I will be in town there on a business trip - taking some gifts from W and some flowers from me.
I am open to ideas...
