Greg died in an accident just over 2.5 years ago, and some days it all seem endless. I think having kids to look after is both a blessing and a curse for me .... helping them through life and grief is hard, holding them when they are so sad that all they want to do is hit and scream is hard, but loving them and laughing with them is what makes life good.... and its a reason to keep striving for awesome! <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268746983441346507.post-19369907747716779722012-10-04T05:26:51.933-07:002012-10-04T05:26:51.933-07:00Bringing up little kids alone is hard.

I know I didn't allow myself to really think about our 15th wedding anniversary that should have been, and my brain kept circling and coming back to it until I finally had a good cry and acknowledged that it does indeed suck to not have him here celebrating with me.

My husband died suddenly two years ago, and although I have soldiered on, I am often afraid that I will not overcome this, that tomorrow will not - will never - be better. I cannot come up with anything that makes tomorrow something to look forward to. I don't even know if I want to look forward to tomorrows without him. How does a romance story go when one of the main characters dies? No grand dramatic gestures allowed - but what then?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268746983441346507.post-43041539457668952392012-10-02T18:30:57.755-07:002012-10-02T18:30:57.755-07:00I have been where you are.

Feeling sick, wanting some one to comfort us, be with us and take care of us like it used to be. But now it's so different with out our husbands. I cry and ask why me. To pity oneself is okay, yes it's really okay. Our husbands were our loves and now we need them for so much more.... they can't help us but we can help ourselves by doing what feels best to us. So take time for yourself, heal and feel better tomorrow,it is just one more day.<br />take care.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268746983441346507.post-22402457111487202092012-10-02T16:13:55.237-07:002012-10-02T16:13:55.237-07:00HERE, HERE!

Yes, there are others in this world that have it a lot worse than some of us. But, being without your husband when you are sick and trying to take care of kids and everything else around you, pretty much sucks! <br /><br />So throw that pity party today (I'm there with you), because I know tomorrow you will be up and running again!!!! <br /><br />Do feel better!
