I'm sorry to hear that you are going through such a rough time. You are dealing with your loss now, which means you are getting started on the grieving process. For me it meant a shorter, somewhat easier time grieving after my husband died. I only hope it means that for you, too. I know it's awful and I wish I could take it all away for you. But there is an end point and you will see your husband's suffering come to an end. That will be a relief for him and you can be thankful for him. It will be hard on you, but you will actually be moving forward, too. You'll probably be numb for awhile which will be helpful. Your children will need you and you'll still see their beauty and find joy in their smiles and seeing how precious they are as you interact with them daily. They may be what keeps you going and therefore very crucial to your mental health. You can cry together over your loss when they ask about their Daddy. It's okay to cry. I wish I could help you more.
