Death of his mother and loss of the babe cast a pall over Winterfell , his Lord Father spent most of his time standing vigil over his mother and the babe . Brandon either shut himself in his room or spent in training yard. Lya and Ben didn't know what to do so they clung to Ned , following him around .
With his Father being unresponsive , Brandon being angry , it fell upon Eddard to do both duties of Lord and Lady of Winterfell , he asked Father what needs to be done and got it done , ravens were sent to all of the Realm announcing the news , ravens to Northern Lords were sent with date of the funeral , asking about attendance , larders were checked , preparations made .
He made sure Lya and Ben were taking care of themselves , same with Brandon . Stood vigil with Father everyday for a few hours . There is much to do in a day . He had to manage his own grief during the day and his nights were worse , he usually slept together with his siblings to reassure them that he was there and not going anywhere , even Brandon insisted on sleeping together , he slept late and woke early due to formless nightmares .
Seven days after Mothers death Father finally relented his vigil , asked for all his children . When gathered he hugged all his children and we broke down once again , drowning in our grief , after interminable amount of time we gathered our strength and got back to our own duties . Father checked over my own work in his absence and commended me for it and resumed his duties as Lord Stark . After another seven days all of the Lords of North who are going to attend have arrived and in the presence of Old Gods in Godswood Mother and little Torrhen laid out in a briar , some words were spoken by Lord Father and other Lords in attendance , Eddard didn't hear them his focus on Mother and Torrhen for this will be last time he will see them in flesh .
Two graves , one little and one big were dug in the Godswood , near roots of Wierwood tree , Father said he has commenced a statue for Mother. Bodies were lowered , graves filled . He prayed that Mother was right, that she was with Gods and she would watch over them always .
