  Ray of Sunshine

  Just a ray of sunshine to warm your heart and let you know that you're among friends. My husband died in June of 2007 from lung cancer that spread to the brain. He only lived 10 weeks after diagnosis but we lived those weeks to the max. A lot of talking and sharing. Our children are adults, 40 and 36 and have lives of their own. I'm very fortunate to be included in a lot of their plans. Sharon

  So glad you have found this site. My husband died a month ago and I have found real understanding, support and friendship here. It is hard with children to consider as well as I am finding too. My daughters are 20 and 24 so older than your two, but the grief of losing a life partner is not the same as losing a father. Different and equally devastating but not the same. I sleep with an array of my husbands possessions and with his picture on the pillow beside me. I find enormous comfort in having his clothes to cuddle. Richard is buried and go to the grave and talk to him. My children are older so perhaps they find my actions less bizarre. Just tell your kids that you need to do this to enable you to cope, that it is your way of dealing with the pain and that it's ok - everyone is different. God bless you and help you find a way of reconciling your needs and your children's understanding. I send you a warm welcome and a big hug. Margaret
