Journal Entry for June 7, 2007 Mood
Thursday, June 7, 2007

6/7/07

I got through the memorial although I really dont know how. My children Josh 15, Aaron 11 and Amanda 8 are doing fairly well though they are confused and feeling a huge loss right now. My husband of 15 years passed away 6/3/07 He was in the hospital for 2 weeks with pneumonia and had to be on a ventilator after the first night. He had stopped breathing and they had to put it in. I held out hope the whole time that he would get better and come home. I mean who dies from pneumonia in 2007? I am angry...angry at him for dying,angry at God for taking him and most of all angry with myself for not seeing that he was sick sooner than I did. My sense of guilt is huge! I keep thinking if I had seen he was sick sooner maybe he would have survived.  I  know it wasnt my fault but i cant help but feel like it is.

    i understand the guilt...we need someone to blame, even if it's ourself. i have so much guilt over the 'could've" "should've"things that might have helped my husband
