Letting Go

Hello. My father passed away (due to medical mistakes and infections acquired at the hospital) a year ago. I am an only child. My mother is not dealing with this very well at all, but won't go to counseling or support groups. She has always been a bit difficult to deal with, but is even more so now. I believe I need some counseling as to how to deal with her and help her without setting off fireworks. Advice? Thank you.

Doctor Marion, My great grandfather wants to leave and/or make something for the family but he’s not sure what. Do you have any suggestions?

What can I do for my favorite uncle as death approaches?

My father is coming to the end of his life and for the first time ever, he has begun to talk about spirituality. As his caregiver, I’m not sure how to handle this. What would you do?

When my father passed away last year, the most difficult thing to deal with was the grief…and I’m still dealing with it. Do you have any suggestions for how to deal with this powerful emotion?
