Profile Information

About Me:
I am the father of my 43 year old daughter, who lost her husband one year ago due to a drowning accident. She has not asked me to find her a group like this, so I am taking this on my own to try to find some help for her as she goes through the one year of her husband's passing.
About my Loss:
Her husband went on a solo camping trip June 7th last year. He was missing for 3 weeks and his body was found June 24th. They were married for 16 years.
Add to her loss was one of her best friends committing suicide this past March. He was 49 and they were friends for over 20 some years.
I am hoping to find a local widow support group in the South Bay of Los Angeles that she can think about joining.
I read some of the comments in trying to understand what young widows go through and there is no way I as her dad could ever understand what she's been through and continues to go through. Yet, my wife and I are always wanting to help our daughter move forward in life as best as she can. Currently, our daughter lives temporarily with my wife (daughter's mom)and seems to have built up a resistance to her mom, meaning the daughter in my opinion feels her mom still treats her as a 6 year old, even though her mom does not mean to do that. I might add my wife (her mom) is Chinese and grew up in an environment where affection was not publcly expressed by her parents.
Am hoping you can give my wife and I some guidance on how to help our daughter help herself.

Be there.  Let her call and cry to you.  Dont offer advice.  Tell her how sorry you are this is happening to her but you will be there for her whenever or for whatever she wants or needs and do that.  Let her exhaust her feelings.  She doesn't need to make any decisions.  She needs to be able to know she can call anytime.  Dont' schedule her into your life.  Let her call when she needs you not when you have time for her.  

Just reaching out here for her means you care.  What a wonderful dad you are.

Grandma sewing room

So I am almost done with cleaning my grandmas sewing room that wasn’t touched in 10 years because of all the mess, but now that she passed away 2 days ago, I don’t know if I should continue, I wanna finish what I started but I don’t know what to do, my grandpa is still alive and I don’t want to leave this burden on him.See More
