['Dealing with the passing of my mother-in-law was hard. My wife really struggled, I hope I did enough for her.', "I'm really sorry to hear that. When did she pass away?", 'Thank you. It was just a couple of weeks ago. Still hurting here.']
I'm sure with time the pain will pass. Try to stay positive!
It was really hard when my mother-in-law passed. I tried to be there as much as I could for my wife.
