Jeez, give 'em a *break*. They've got to be in very intense emotional shape right now, and it'll probably be a while before they get themselves together again. Their lives have been MMY's for many years, and suddenly he's gone. Anybody who's ever lost somebody close knows you're not quite sane for some weeks. It's a little like the stories of people being horribly wounded on a battlefield and not feeling any pain; the brain makes endorphins or something to protect the psyche from falling apart. It can be like a kind of euphoria, and it gets you through the worst of the shock. Experts always say you shouldn't make any important decisions during this period, because you just aren't thinking straight. What we should be concerned about is when reality finally sinks in. That's when people can get seriously depressed. And they won't be able to *say* they're depressed and ask for support. It's likely to be pretty tough.
