I start off by saying I apologize in advance for how long this post is.I have been a lurker for many years. I have laughed and cried on here but never felt the need to post. I passed many countless hours enjoying all the post on here. So today I find it oddly strange to want to post but I am lost right now. On Friday morning I suddenly and unexpectedly lost my wife of almost 20 years . Never could’ve imagined after reading post like this, that it would’ve happen to me. What makes this even worse is we have 3 kids including 2 little girls. I have always been told everything happens for a reason but why would God take my wife and take my innocent children’s mother away? As a cruel twist we were all packed and ready to go on our family vacation on Saturday.I don’t know how I can get through this. I am lost, my world has fallen apart in a matter of minutes. I am now a widow at 42 with 3 kids that will grow up without a mother. I have 2 precious baby girls that need a mother to help them with things in life that only a mother can. I will stop rambling now but for some reasons unknown I felt the need to post this. Everyone hold your loved ones a little tighter tonight because life is truly precious and tomorrow isn’t guaranteed.

THANK YOU ALL! I truly appreciate everyone’s kind words. Y’all do not know how much that actually means to me.

Devastating loss. So very sorry!

Do you have family to support you? Church?

I cannot imagine. The world can be cruel and unfair. Your kids need you more than ever—use that knowledge to press forward.

Try to stay strong for your kids but take time to grieve as well

Do you have family close by?

Condolences

My advice to you is turn off all any/all media/news. Too much negative energy and instead totally focus on your children.

This is a great place to vent man. You know the people are real yet nobody knows your real name. You can just talk when you need it.

You sound like a good man who has a great family. Take it one day at a time and remember your kids need you. Don’t be afraid to lean on your family and neighbors I’m sure they love you. I’m sure you’ll find you’re more than capable of helping your girls. My father in law tells stories about having to help my wife as a young woman or finding other women to help with her when he couldn’t. You will manage bro. If not, come here and ask. These nutjobs usually have links and information from their experience.

As for why and God. That’s probably best left to another thread. Perhaps you’ll find that in time.
