Oh, what a difficult time to lose your dear husband. I wish there were words that would make it better, but I know there simply are none. I think in the early days the best advice I received was just to take things one day at a time and do only what you have to. I am sure things are busy and exhausting with two little ones. Do you have friends and family that can help? Maybe watch the girls while you try to get some rest, or go for a walk to have some time for yourself? I think it is so difficult to balance the needs of your children while still taking care of your own physical and emotional needs which are every bit as important. I do know that often people want to help but don't know what to do. If you have that support, make a list - pick up groceries, or diapers, tidy your house, etc - so when someone asks, you can go to the list. Honestly, this is probably the time you are most likely to receive help, so take everything people are willing to offer.
This is a great place to come to let things out. We all get the magnitude of this grief. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Peace. Kate.

I am so sorry for your loss and the girls loss of their dad. Losing my husband was devastating, but I had been spared being a single parent. There's no comparing grief. It's horrible no matter what the age. Just take things moment by moment doing your best. Save time for you. You need to take care of yourself as well. Big hugs to all and know that we are here for you and we understand. Sharon

First I am sorry for your lost, and I know how raw the pain you are going thru, please realize you are part of a club that you did not ask to join, however you are part of us. Right now just take one day at a time and hug his pillow. Today my sons and I went to the cemetery to take her flowers, it has been six months since her passing. Stay strong for the little girls.

I'm so sorry for your loss.
I'm hoping and praying that you have family and good friends, who are willing to help you, in a tangible way, during this time.
we understand your grief, we are here for you.
Take it moment by moment...it's so easy to get overwhelmed and just having a new baby and a young family, to think about, is more than enough to deal with.
Take this moment by moment
.Take care of your needs. Give yourself time.
Make lists, of your needs, for you, your family, and let people help you.
Importantly, you know we are here to listen to you, when it all gets too much.
Breathe deeply, one step at a time, .......you are in my prayers,
Much love to you and your children........Sandra
