Christine I am very sorry for your loss.  I said it before, I dont know how I could deal with the loss of my husband if I had to take care of little children too.  I hope you have lots of family and friends who are there for whatever you need.  It is important for you to take care of yourself so make sure you take people up on their offers for help even if that is just getting them to take your kids to the park for an hour so you can have a good old cry without worrying about upsetting them.  Sending you some hugs of understanding.  My husband passed away on July 1st, after a very very short battle with cancer.

Sorry to hear it, Christina.  I lost my wife a little over six months ago when she took her life.  We didn't have children, so I can't imagine what it'd be like to have to deal with the grief and loss and still take care of two kids.  I'm glad to see you're willing to reach out to others for support.  I know being able to talk to people has helped me out a lot.  I know writing stuff down has helped, too.  Journaling's often good, especially if there's no-one available to talk to or I'm not sure how they'd react to what I have to say.  I hope you keep coming back and keep making use of all the support you can get ahold of.
