Hi Crystal,  Thanks for adding me as a friend. I'm new as well and hopefully we both can find some comfort in the support.

I am grateful that my 4 children were 'adults' when Greg died bc I can't imagine trying to explain this to small children (although we also have 3 grandkids 5,2,and 1). With that being said, I hate it that my kids had this happen to them, no matter what their age. We have 2 girls 24 and 18, and 2 boys 30 and 28. All I could think of when I thought of the girls is they have no Daddy to walk them down the aisle...that always starts the flood of tears. Who's going to do the Father/daughter dance at the wedding? My youngest son was in Afghanistan and Iraq for a year each time. His dad wrote him every single day. When Greg was days away from death, he said, through tears, "Who's going to write my boy?" That son is engaged now. I went to an engagement party for them at her parents in another state. I felt so alone. I kept thinking "Meet The Parents" weekend, but I was in the movie "Meet THe Parent".

Greg was very involved in all of our kids lives growing up and as adults, they miss him terribly. I worry about my sons though bc they don't let it out or discuss it unless I pull it out of them.

Have to get to work-take care and have a great day!

Thank you fro 'friending' me! So glad to find this website. My husband died in Nov from lung and brain cancer. He had only been diagnosed for 6 months. We had been married 33 years and have 4 children. I have friends and family and co-workers, but no one who really gets it...happy to find others who are going through the same.

Yup, after the services and all of the "sorry for your loss" 's, most everyone returns to their normal lives. You (and everyone else on this site) have to find/create a new normal - Not easy, but everyone keeps telling me that it is possible. For me (and everyone is different), talking and typing about what I was feeling was EXTREMELY helpful. I don't know where I would be if I had not connected with a certain person and was able to just let it out. Again, easier said than done. I still have a loooong way to go too - most do.  Just take, one minute, one hour, and one day at a time.  That's the best advice I can give.
