" Sarah, so sorry for the loss of your husband. I lost mine 6 weeks ago also to cancer. We have a 15 yr old girl left at home. It is so hard to deal with te grieving and daily things that you don't want to deal with.
Try to take care of yourself as best you can for your unborn child too.
Love Julie "

" I'm so sorry for your loss. I know the first few months without my husband were so hard.
Trying to help a child through and still manage yourself seems like something you just can't do sometimes. I gave up for a while. My daughter has seen me cry a river or two sometimes and I never wanted her to.
She's 4, and something she told me reminded me of my uncle and husband 2 of the most prominent men in my life.
She said "mama it's okay I cry about daddy too"
Talk about a release. Remember it's okay to cry sometimes, and it's part of taking care of yourself. You have to take care of yourself and your lovely baby now. It gets easier with time to cope. But it's okay to cry.

" I know how you feel. The physical pain is unbearable. I try all the things to get better, but it still hurts. My husband died a month ago. I cant seem to find the joy in life. We must believe it will get better with time. "

" I think I can handle the pain but I can not handle the anxiety that comes with me. Yesterday was horrible, today about the same except the crying. Went to the dr right away this morning and got my meds increased, this dr. was my husband's so he understood evrything I have been through. I can say it felt good to have a dr. understand and help. "

" I am so very sorry for your loss. This is a very hard journey you are now on and you have to take care of yourself. I lost my husband ten weeks ago and my life is still like a roller coaster. Some days seem a little normal while others are like the first few after he died. Take care. Dawn "

" I don't want to be a WIDOW!! I hate that name, every time I have to select it...it makes me crazy. I lost by best friend, my soul mate,my partner surely there must be a better name for what we are going thru rather than some 1930's name. He was so much more to me than a husband to me. Monday will be the 3 month anniversary of his death and I miss him more every day. I was able to keep him at home, which was his wish, so it took a while but now I find my self thinking "oh I need to tell Bob this it will really spin him up," Only he isn't here.....I miss my Bob. "
