Hon, I would buck up and get a job and take care of the only part of him you have left. I would mourn then I would get on with life with my precious memories of my husband for my child. Put the 3 year old in pre-school or in an appropriate day care situation and get a good enough job to carry on my lifestyle.

You might want to try a memorial service, It will allow your friend some sort of closure as well as bringing together a group of people who all loved and miss him. It's much easier to grieve when you have the support of people who know what you are going through and feel the loss along with you.For the sake of her child she has to begin to live in the present but keeping his memory alive in her heart and for her child. It's not easy and time doesn't make it any easier but if she can gain some closure and find some peace than it just might be worth it. I will keep your friend in my prayers, god bless

She may need to talk to a grief counselor who would help her let go.
I don't know how long it has been since she lost her mate .. but it will take her awhile to get over the shock .. the loss .. especially since she did not have closure of the body being found.
She needs time to mourn. But at some time - she needs to pick up her life and go forward with living her life. She has a precious daughter to take care of .. and to live for.
It won't be easy .. and she will need all of the support that she can get. Give her time .. and support.

If he's any good in any respect, he in all likelihood feels truly undesirable interior approximately leaving. tell him you comprehend. 2. tell him you like him and issues will substitute if he comes residing house. supply him your recommendations. for occasion, you will bypass out with him as quickly as each and every week (on an identical time as hiring a babsitter if mandatory) so which you will have your guy or woman time on my own as husband and spouse. yet do no longer beg and cry. you're a mom of four youngsters. you're able to desire to coach your infants, especailly in case you have daughters, that mom is physically powerful and issues would be ok, with Dad around or devoid of. a reliable mom is the suited component your infants have at this component in time. 3. attempt to stay happy.

It's hard to let go when they don't find a body and it's possible that bears got him and they never will. That is very sad. Just be there for him or her, whoever it is that lost the husband.

I'd get it together and go to work. You can only feel sorry for yourself for so long. I'm sure she misses her husband but she has a child to provide for. She needs help, professional help and your support is a great thing. Keep up the support and get her some help.

Despite her grief over the loss of her husband, she needs to remember the needs of the living. In this case, the needs of her child and herself. She needs to concentrate on building a good life and a good future for herself and her child. This is what her husband would want to see, if he was around.

A co-worker of mine lost her son in a boating accident last year. The body was not found. It's difficult for her to have closure without finding him, but she knows that he'll always be with her. Tell your friend that she should raise her child to know his daddy.

she thinks that if she would except that her husband was never coming back, then her world would end.
she does NEED help to deal with what she already know.
be a friend and when it comes up just tell her like very softly but firmly and have her to agree. tell her it's time to face it and move on. that's ok to remember, but important to let go.
for the child's sake.........life MUST go on.
God bless you all

You can't make your friend give up hope that he will come home. She needs to face he is not coming back in her own time. She loves him so much. Just be there for her.
