I'll be gobsmacked.....
One of my neighbors, she walks outside and is the sweetest person, told me today her husband died 2 months ago.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She has seemed very oblivious to all around her and the kids always try and say Hi but she has ignored them. Now I know why!!!!
I hope that she will come over and will let me around her so that she can just adjust to life. She told me all she does is get up, eat a little, dress for walking and she walks and walks till she is dead tired and then she goes to sleep. That is the only way she can sleep. She has a son but I have never seen him, he lives with her but I have never seen him. Her husband was an introvert as well so not seeing him for over 2 months is nothing new.

How sad. I hope she will open up and let you and your family into her community.
I am not sure how often you visited before, but I suspect a non obtrussive weekly hello visit with one your boys would be a good thing. Poor sweet lady.
We do not know how we would react when a close family member was dying . Or rather; I knew this too much . This woman tries to overcome her mourning but does not succeed ? Without any doubt speak to her or make something with her would help progressively to re-insert her in life .
