No sure what to do...

FIL died about 2 weeks ago. DH, who suffers from depression anyway, has been very sad. Now, he's SUPPOSED to be sad, and we both know that, but he's already told me that he needs someone to talk to. He doesn't want to talk to his therapist because, "there's no mystery" as to why he's sad, he just is. (I'm quoting him there, but I completely understand where he's coming from on that point).

I'm here for him, but I completely understand that maybe sometimes I'm not enough. Both of my parents are still alive, so as much as I feel for him, I really don't know what he's going through. Can anyone recommend ANYTHING? What you did to help you through the loss of a parent, who you spoke to...I don't know. I'm at a loss.

Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

when i lost my mom i didn't have any friends who had lost a parent so it was very difficult for them to really understand my grief. i guess i just worked through it talking to my sister mostly.

They have great bereavement groups around.
