I understand somewhat where you are coming from. I lost my firstborn 8 month old daughter a few months ago and my wife has become very sick from her pregnancy and for the time being is no longer able to work. my advice, lean on family and friends. They want to help you more than you know. Sorry for your loss.

Prayers brother.
Had a female HS classmate pass recently similarly to your scenario. Sounds like a similar age as well. Went to sleep feeling funny and didn’t wake up. Terrifying to think about.

Do not be afraid to tell God how you feel, (don't apologize) just try to do it as respectfully as you can. The empath side of me is struggling thru your post, (I hurt for You and your children) Please know good folks are praying and I pray the Lord stands by your side and heals you and your children's hearts!! It will be a long road, but you can make it!

I and others I know have found solace in the following passage I learned from an old prayer book. It is read every Shabbat.
The departed whom we now remember have entered into the peace of life eternal. They still live on earth in the acts of goodness they performed and in the hearts of those who cherish their memory. May the beauty of their life abide among us as a loving benediction.
All is bleak now. Seek comfort and help from those close to you.
I am heart sick for your loss.
It doesn’t look it now, but things will get better. Love those kids and keep them close. They too are at a loss.

I am so sorry for your loss.
As an only child of a Mother who wasn't very much into being a mother, I can tell you that Grandmothers will fill part of a void. I don't know why, but they just do. Sometimes they are 'blood' grandmothers, other times they are lovely older women who recognize that there're children who need them. When I went away from home to college, I found that my Grandmother had with the child's parents' permission, become a grandmother to a little girl whose blood grandmothers were in England. For three years, she filled a niche. A warm place for the child to come after school.
Start writing a journal about what you see your children do each day: the positive things. A good math test, or collected some pretty leaves. It will only take a sentence or two, but find the positive.
You CAN do this, but not the whole kit and caboodle at once. Small steps because you have six other feet to watch as well as your own.

The fact that you are expressing the fact that the kids are #1, shows that you will get through this. And not only get through it, but be an example of how to live for others for those kids to witness.
There is nothing anyone can say in the short term that can help you. You will hit the peaks and the valleys. Just understand that this is all normal.
I would suggest finding a support group that have lived through tragedy. In New Orleans, the Compassionate Friends is one. You will hear stories that will make you cry even more, but you will realize that life can go on. If you are lucky, you can mentor others dealing tragedy in the future. But you need your time now. Take what you need and know that it is not selfish.
You have the three best motivating faces possible….those kids.
Be strong for them. Accept help when it is appropriate. And keep your mind busy. Prayers sent to all of you.

However humble my prayers will be for you tonight, I will offer then up.
I have been through a loss remotely similar to yours, and the only advice I can offer is to turn off your social media -- if only for a while. Full stop. Reconnect to the human experience.
And may God shower His blessings upon you and your family.

Life is, truly, precious. My thoughts and prayers for you and your family. I lost a son 9 years ago. Grieve. No matter how long it takes. Love those precious children. Know that all will be revealed to you in time.

Oh shite, man. I feel like someone just punched me in the stomach reading that. That’s tough to grasp the enormity of a situation like this, so I’m sure you feel confused as shite right now. My only advice is you and your kids don’t be afraid to seek professional help to work through this grief. At least do some research on the stages of grief, so you will know what you can expect you and your kids to feel.
