Question

How does a mother console a son who has lost a brother?

Answer 1

You need consoling too.  I'm am sorry for your loss.  You need for your son to know that you are here for him.  That he is not alone.  Support him.  Talk about special times that he had with his brother and look at photos together.  If he is having a hard time coping then you should go into therapy together.  Just let him know that it is okay for him to cry and to feel whatever he is feeling and that everyone mourns in their own way.

Answer 2

Grief counselling may help if he's taking things badly, but most grief over a lost loved one can only be healed with time. Give him help and support, someone to talk to, but only time will help him to get over this. I wish you both the best of luck, and i'm sorry for your loss.

Answer 3

talk, talk and talk. just b there for each other.
