Lately I've been doing a lot of soul searching ( so cliche, I know ). I don't know who I am without Rob. I met him when I was 19 and in 6 years we got married, bought a house, and had 2 children. i quit my job to be a stay at home mom for the past 5 years.
I am only 26 years old. God willing I have a lot of life left to live. I do not want the new me to be traumatized, hurt, scared, and angry for the rest of my life. I realize it's important to grieve in front of my kids but they are 5 and 2, they also need some silliness, fun, and laughter too. I guess I just miss being happy.

I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Yes, your children need to see you grieve, but they are young and also need to see that you are strong for them. It's hard, but you can accomplish both. You can give them the silliness, fun and laughter they need and still grieve.
