I’m so sorry. I lost my sister and my mom; losing a spouse must be a thousand times worse. ---

My husband died three years ago. Like others have said, be patient with yourself, and don’t be afraid to ask for help. Connect with other widowers and widows, especially if you can find younger ones. Losing a younger spouse unexpectedly is a special kind of hell that only those who have been through it can understand. I don’t know how I would have coped if jsgoddess hadn’t reached out to me. I am so, so sorry for you and your children. It is hard to understand how life can be so cruel. ---

I’m sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my mother two months ago, so I can understand the pain you’re going through. Give plenty of hugs and love to your little ones, but be sure to take care of yourself as well - eat well and get all the sleep you can. If you need to talk, remember we’re here for you. (((((( **rwhbyu** and daughters))))) ---

I’m so sorry. I know you’ll need to be strong to get through the days ahead, but remember that it’s okay to grieve, even with people around. Let others be your strength sometimes. Your little girls will see their mother through your eyes, with great love. They might not remember her very well, but they’ll learn to know the woman you love. Right now, you have my thoughts and prayers. ---
