"My mother died"
"Honey, my mother has died" When your partner has to cope with the loss of his mother, you as a partner are especially in demand. Because for most people, the death of their mother is a particularly drastic experience, regardless of whether your partner is a woman or a man. Here are some suggestions on how you can be there for your partner when the mother dies.
If the mother dies, the loss is greatÂ
- Many people, women and men, are particularly hard hit when their mother dies. It may not be easy for you as a partner to be there for your partner.
- If you have been with your partner for a long time and had a good relationship with your partner's mother, you may have to contend with your grief for the deceased yourself.
- In general, someone who is grieving needs time, attention, and understanding. Because realizing that a person will not come back can take a few days.
- How your partner reacts to the death of his mother does not only depend on how the two of them were related to each other. How your partner reacts to his mother's death can play a role. Was the mother older and maybe very sick? Was death unexpected or was it foreseeable that she would die soon? Was the cause of the death due to third-party negligence or did the mother even voluntarily divorce her life? All of these can affect your partner's grief and thus your role as a comforting and supportive person.
This is how you support your partner after the mother's death
- If your partner's mother has died, you should try to stand by your partner. Be there, listen, hug your partner. But don't press your partner.
- Be patient with your partner. Grief takes time and is a very individual thing. Everyone deals with it differently. Depending on how well you know your partner, you can rely on your feelings when comforting.
- Some people want to be alone after a person dies and their partner may not be able to stand being around you. Even if you think this reaction has something to do with you, understand and do not take any negative reactions personally. In most cases, your partner's behavior in their grief has nothing to do with you.
- Support your partner after the mother's death by relieving your partner of annoying old age things. Take care of phone calls, shopping, and cooking. But on the other hand, let your partner do the things they'd like to do themselves.
