My husband passed about a month, on his 1 month exactly his best friend passed unexpectedly, both were early 50s, my kids are having just a heard time with his friend as they did with his passing. I am thinking this is really about their Dad, but it is so hard. They do not want to attend funeral or wake since everything is in the same place, I am not making them, hope this is the right choice.
My husband has been fighting cancer since 2009, and was in hospice care, even when we know it is coming it is still very hard to face.
