Grandfather gets a new wife and a new will

Dear Amy: The letter from the (divorced) "Sad Mom" told my story. Her youngest son wouldn't call on her birthday or Mother's Day.
This line jumped out at me: "He is actually showing how he feels about himself."
That is so true! Her son could be grieving the divorce.
I too did not receive any sign from my son on birthdays, Mother's Day, Christmas, etc.
I never pushed him, because grieving takes time. It took my son three years!

Dear Patient: Patience often works better than pushing.
