Right, each of you have valid comments. I've mentioned my couins, who is blind, who cries all day every day since her husband died two or three years ago. Her oldest son lives there basically to make sure she has what she needs, but her constant crying gets to him, so he clams up and stays in his room writing on his novels.
She complained daily about said husband when he was alive. He sold things that were hers, he was a good mechanic, but worked on others' machines first, etc., etc.
He died suddenly of a heart attack and she beats herself to death that she should have been able to help him. He died during sleep...
No one comes to visit; the only visitors are meals on wheels and the girl that is paid to help with housework. I'm not close enough to keep her company, so I get calls every day...and through the calls, she cries.
Grief will go on forever for her. It's sad.
