"  Three years ago, my husband died in a car accident. I have adjusted, and I&amp;#039;ve made a nice life for our two sons, ages six and nine. But when my mother-in-law comes over, she starts weeping about how broken her heart is. The boys end up so upset, I can hardly console them. I don&amp;#039;t want to keep my sons from their grandmother, but I don&amp;#039;t know how to tell her that this behavior is inappropriate. What can I do? Your mother-in-law is suffering beyond words, as I&amp;#039;m sure you and your sons did for quite some time. But while you&amp;#039;ve been able to move on, she hasn&amp;#039;t. Suggest that the next time Grandma wants to see her grandsons, you all go somewhere outside the home -- to an amusement park, a movie theater or a local fair. Keep the mood as light, fun -- and distracting -- as possible. When you get a moment alone with your mother-in-law, tell her how important it is for the boys to share good times with her and that you really think her son would have wanted his kids and his mom to be happy. Hopefully, she&amp;#039;ll start to heal. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
