For the married brehs on the coli…

[F*ckthemkids]

Without getting too specific my wife’s family is going through a tough time right now. My wife is a mess…How do I be there for her without inserting myself into the situation? Not making it about myself or trying to provide understanding in a situation I have no experience in. Without being overbearing. Cause listening to her cry is…heartbreaking…This is the part of GMB they don’t tell you about…that you’re going to get old and “life” is going to happen.

Take over her responsabilities in the household for a moment. I assume death is involved.

This is the moment you show that you have a strong backbone. Goodluck!

Best thing you can do, is listen...


Women love to talk. lol

 

[Kiyoshi-Dono]

Inject humor with a side of empathy when she lets her guard down
Take her on a drive and let her get all that shyt out
Take a walk and get her out the house
When anybody goes through a bad time
Staying in the house magnifies thinking and emotions
Listen and show affection
Depending on her level of physical touch at this time
Just listen and hold her hand and give hugs

A little tough to provide anything solid or even semi-solid without context. What does a tough time mean? Divorce? Death? illness? money? Too many scenarios to gauge w/o context. You dont have to get into details but do provide some context to narrow the focus. All in all though based on what you said all to do is really whats already being said. Just listen my man.

Too vague to give any kind of advice.

My mother in law is terminal…she’s been given 6 months tops.

Thanks breh. I appreciate this

Listen
Let her vent, cry, scream
Just be there
Whatever she was doing in the house (eg. Chores, cooking, etc) see if you can take that over

Hope things get better for her, her fam

Actually thats GMB Chapter 1... Good luck though.

Edit: Her mother is about to pass? That's going to be traumatic. I'm really sorry to hear that fam.

My wife went through something like this when her father passed away. He died of lung cancer and watching his health degrade was extremely hard for her. A lot of people here gave you some very good advice, so I suggest following what you can. In the end, really all you can do is show empathy, be there for her, and be willing to support her through the trying time. Also, try your best to keep her home life stress levels as low as possible, since she is already near her limit considering her worry over her mother.

If you can afford it as a family, suggest she takes some time off from work (if she is working) so that she can spend more time with her mother. That is what I suggested to my wife. That last month was horrible for her but it was also beautiful too. It allowed her to be there for him, and for them both to say goodbye to each other.

Everyone handles mourning, sadness differently.

When my grandfather passed, my dad would take a drive, listen to some music to clear his thoughts.

I'm pretty much the same way.

Women may express this element of weakness openly and upfront. All you can do is listen. Don't interject unless asked.
