Hey there!

IMO - I think you said it perfectly with this response:

Quote:
we have not chosen to encourage nor discourage her choices - only to support her when she has made them.

Sounds like a very health approach to me.

Just listening to her, being there for her, allowing her to express her grief and telling her that even if you can't entirely understand, that you respect what she's going through and feeling.

I can tell you that that would've made a tremendous difference to me personally to have heard those words just once.

Kudos to you, Twoplus1, for being compassionate enough and caring enough to come in here looking for answers.

Wishing you and yours peace today!
