Update since my wife passed away.

I will try to make this a short as possible, I know we all don’t like reading a book on here. As some of y’all may or may not know, my wife passed away earlier this year in June. Her and I have 3 wonder, beautiful kids together. I made the difficult decision to sell our home back in July. I found my wife passed away in our home and it was simply too much pain to continue living there. I was able to sell our home and in August my 3 children and myself, along with my wife’s toy poodle, all moved into a 2 bedroom apartment. It certainly has been an adjustment from living in a 4 bedroom home to an apartment. But, I am happy to say that tomorrow we close on our new home. You see, it’s just not a new home for us but it’s also a new beginning. Tomorrow is the start of a new chapter in our lives and even though my wife may not be here physically, she is indeed here. I am a man of faith and know when God calls me home, I will see her again in Heaven. But I also know life must go on. God wants us to keep living and we as a family will continue to do so. I was told from the beginning, when this happened. That you don’t move on you move forward and that’s what we are doing.I don’t want to get too religious because I know it’s not for everyone but I can assure you God is real and I know 100% we would not have made it this far, if it wasn’t for God. I want to personally thank everyone that prayed for myself and my family. It means more than y’all will ever know. I will NEVER lose hope!Hope isn’t just a feeling hope is a path.I am going to leave with this pray that my good friend sent me this morning. I hope each and everyone of y’all have a Happy New Year.
Dear Heavenly Father, please be with me, I pray, as I move on from the old to the new.The joy, memories, and hardships of the last season of my life are behind me. Help me to leave them there, Lord, and not carry them with me into this new season.Help me to let go of all hurts, anger, and grudges, and see all people as the blessing they are, Your children.
Thank You, Lord, for this opportunity to begin this new adventure with You. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

How did she pass?
ETA: I took the time and dug back through your old post to find “massive heart attack”

Very true.
All of us, in some way or another, have experienced loss, heartbreak, or trauma, and we are still here, fighting to make it through another day. But we are here, just like you are, and you will get through this.
And I'm sorry for your loss. I can't imagine what that is like, but I know that you will be okay. Maybe not today, tomorrow, next month, or year. But you will. You and your kids have more life to live and create new memories together. These memories will never replace what you and your wife did with them, nor should they, but you, as their father, still have work to do.

Dang dude. 
Great job dad. Keep being the example and pointing to Christ as you are doing. There are no surprises with Him. He got you.

Amen. And thanks for sharing. Many of us have been down that road and I like you know that the Lord carried me through. God is your strength and blessed hope at times like these. May the peace that goes beyond understanding be with you and your loved ones.

Happy to hear you're opening a new chapter in your life. I remember your original thread and I prayed for you then; I'll keep praying for you now. I hope God continues to bless you and your family as you progress down a road of hope and healing. Keep on, brother.

Thanks for sharing and giving hope. Sadly, you aren’t the only one who will face these circumstances and hearing of the perseverance of others can be a light in those dark moments. God bless buddy.

Beautiful messaging so happy you and your daughters are getting a chance to grieve and grow.
I remember your message when you first posted it and for a while just prayed for you and was wondering how things were going.

Godspeed brother

Remember your initial post, it was a gut check for me. What would I do, how would I handle it, how would I cope. We as men believe we can fix everything, sometimes you can't fix it and just have to hold it together until the new path forward presents itself.
Good on you!
Good on you!

Philippians 4:13 is possibly the most simplistic truth ever written. I pray you and those beautiful children continue to be blessed in this new phase of your lives.

Whoever downvoted this needs to choke on multiple bags of dicks.
