 (Nick Galifianakis for The Post) | Dear Carolyn: My brother died a few months ago, and I am not managing it well. Or maybe I am, I don't know. It's the worst, and I have no real sense of how this is supposed to go. I have a 3-year-old who never met my brother. We were estranged, as he had some substance abuse issues that affected our relationship. But I still miss him, and I miss the person he was, and the person he might have been if he'd gotten better. I'm struggling with what to say to my boy, or what my husband can say to him, when I'm having a hard time. They heard me sobbing in the shower the other day, and my husband doesn't know how to answer the question, "Why is Mom sad?" What do we say? — Sad |
