LaurieR said… Hello ElleLee. I am so sorry for your loss. I am also very sorry for your son's loss of his father. I never really know what to say but welcome to this site. It is so very hard for people who have not lost their significant other to understand what your going through. People here all have lost their love and understand. I am so very glad you have such wonderful people around you who have been helping you. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. I will do my best to help you. I will send you a friend request, if you wish you can accept.
