My mom went to Heaven on 2/10 of this year and my dad is struggling. We have strong faith in God and Jesus. When my sister died in 1995 my parents and I tried one session of grief therapy and it was very sad and dismal. The hospice people that cared for mom have called him to see if he needs counseling but he doesn’t want to be in a group setting. I think he’ll be okay but should I try to reach out to other widowers? How would I do that?

Do you see your dad often?
Does he go to church?
Perhaps all he needs is for someone like yourself to be there for him.
Can you think of a string of excuses to spend time with him over the next month? Just knowing you're going to see him once or twice a week will keep him looking after himself rather than allowing himself to become isolated.
