Sorry for your loss. Your kids need you now more than ever. Talk to them often, ask how they’re doing and talk to them about how you’re feeling.

I cannot imagine what you are going through but know that you have internet friends praying for you from all over the country.

I wish there were magic words to say to take the pain and loneliness away. My wife and I have been married 52 years, of course we have had some serious illnesses and I recently had a bad fall. We still have each other, but we have also had a cancer to get through, so sooner or later one of us will pass.
We talk about this frequently, we both say we don't want to be the one left behind. We look at old pictures and remember the ones we lost and we realize how lucky we are. Our children and grandchildren are all happy and healthy, but my sister recently lost a daughter, I don't know how she can bear it.
All we can do is to look around us and count the blessings we have, use the time we have left to be with loved ones. I have close friends who are standing on the same marker, we support each other and pray.

So sorry. She'll always be with you really.

Between this and kids, you have reason to make every day better than the last. Be the one those kids can depend upon.
It is hard in the short term, but you are the fortunate one to have known her as well as you did.
God bless you and you kids.

Man I’m so sorry. I hate to hear anyone has to go through that

Be strong, hang in there, and let it out when you need to.

As a parent who lost his 17 year old son many years ago, I feel your pain. I told my wife that as hard as losing him was, losing her would maybe be the only thing worse. But we had 3 other children to care for and that made me keep going. My biggest regret looking back is that I didn't consider what my other children were going through more. I mean deep sorrow takes you places you never want to be. Your children are morning in a way most people can't imagine right now. Stay strong for them and put more focus on their well being. She lives not only in your heart, but they are very much apart of who she is. Trust in Jesus and lean on Him. Without God, I don't know how anyone makes it through what you are living. Good luck and may God Bless.

I'm sorry man. I wish I had some wise words to share with you, but I don't. I hope you and your kids take plenty of time to grieve and find some comfort soon.

My best to you and your littles, Bawseph. You should talk to your kids and see if there is anything that was hers that they may want to save. Your daughter may want her wedding dress one day.
I am not saying get rid of the rest of her stuff, but box it up for the day you may be ready.
Prepare to Zombie walk. You will get through, and you will step up for your kids. I am telling you that the next month or so will remain with you, as foggy, in your memories. You will be strong, and prosper.
My wife got sick and spent two weeks in the hospital, without them having a clue. After the two weeks, they shipped her to Shands for 5 more, where they were able to save her life. I spent 7 weeks with just me and my daughter, getting used to the fact it may just be us.
I do not pretend to know your road, but I understand it.
Once again, my best to you, and your little ones.

I have a million things I could say but nothing seems adequate. But know your family is in our prayers and are glad you are updating even when it is hard.

This is spot on so I'm reposting it.
Thoughts and prayers for you.

You sound like a good man, a good husband, and a good father. You and your family will be ok because you are their rock. I’m sorry for your loss

My father passed away suddenly last year. Not the same pain, I know but my family and I have never been closer in my life.
Lean into them and cherish them. Don’t fall away from your family during this time. While it’s hard right now, you have the choice to make sure you and your loved ones come closer over something like this, not further apart.
Best of luck, brother.

My Dad lost his wife of 51 years last September. I am there for him whenever he needs me. I always let him know that Mom is in a better place now and would not want to see him sad. We talk about the good times we had with her and it seems to help a little. We still miss her like crazy but we believe we will be with her again on the other side and that definitely helps.
I will pray for you and please know that you can always reach out to me or probably anyone in this thread if you need someone to talk to.
