How To Treat Trauma Caused After Death?
Hello, I was wondering if i could get some help regarding the after death trauma of a husband. My question is is it normal for this person to stay silent for almost 2 months even thou she is in a hospital and all her sons and daughters are around her all the time. I wanted to know and make sure because someone i know is telling me that this is the case but i have doubts that its a lie Thank you,
