Welcome and I am sorry that you have experienced the loss that led you here. has your girls' school counselor been of any help? The counselors at my girls school helped a  little since the girls lost daddy during the summer, starting back to school was awkward for them with all of the recent changes to their schedule.  He was Mr.Mom and took care of them while I worked.  If you haven't talked to the school principal or counselor do, they will offer as much help as they can and may have some contacts to help you further.

Your very welcome Debbie, I found this place just 3 weeks after my husband (KC) passed away, I don't know what I would of done without it. At the time I thought I was losing my mind, so many crazy thoughts running around in my head. Then I came to WV and started reading others post, to my surprise so many others thought just like I did it was such a relief. You are right about freinds and family, we are all very close but when it comes to the loss of my husband, really none of them can help me. They can be here for me, but you have to "live it" to "get it". So I spend alot of time alone because I don't want to have to put on a smile just to make everyone around me feel at ease, I would love to be honest with others but then they think I need medication or a shrink. We all just need to be given what ever time we need, not the amount of time others think it should take us to bounce back. ( We lost our husbands, we didn't have the flu or something ) This will take time (alot) of time, and that should be ok. How old are your children? Mine are all adults, and yes they are all having issues of one kind or another trying to come to grips with everything thats happened.I wish you and your family well, if you ever need to talk I'm here.   Lisa
