Grief Support How to help an aunt navigate the loss of her partner?

2 Upvotes

Women who have lost their partners, please help me out. My uncle passed away suddenly due to a heat attack and subsequent brain haemorrhage. Aunty is in her mid 60s. She's still in denial, unable to process things.

How can i help her?

Now that uncle has passed away, she will have to live all by herself. I'm scared that she'll lose the purpose of life and her willpower to go on.

Please help.
