Donald,
Just give her time as it's not an easy thing to deal with particularly with the era you was born in. Even as late as the early '80's when my son was born women were told to forget about their child, get on with their lives and that they would have more. I know from my own experience I could never forget my son even though I got on with my life and I haven't had other children though not from choice. Since Aug 2004 I have been in reunion with my son which hasn't always been easy but we both wanted this.
There are no guarantees in this life so it's worth continuing to post here for support.
Pip
