This past 8 days has been extremely hard for my family. On June 29, my dear husband passed away suddenly from an accident.
We had only been married for 19 years in March. We were building an addition on to our house. He had recently switched jobs to one he loved and was so excited about. We had so many dreams, so many things to live for and look forward to.
The bottom dropped out of our world that day and it seems so impossible, even now. God is giving me the grace and strength to push through each hour.
I never wanted to be a single parent or a widow and have no idea how to do either one.
My 9yo son found him and my 16yo daughter saw him too. Our oldest son was in CO and youngest daughter was was in MS when he passed away... so they are all struggling deeply in their own grief. The only one of the children who seems blissfully unaware, is our 22mo son.
The children and I decided that I should keep our foster license active, but put a placement hold on it indefinitely. Some day, I think I might want to start taking placements again--- this was my husband's and my passion together, so in his memory, I will keep it active.
Please pray for our family as we navigate the deepest, darkest valley we've ever been in.

Oh my goodness. I am so sorry for your loss. I cannot even imagine what you and your family are going through. I will pray for you all.
Stephanie, I am so very sorry to hear that your husband passed away -- what a shock. There are no words that can make you feel better, but just know that there are many of us out here in cyberspace who are holding you and your children up in prayer and thought tonight.
I'm sorry, sweetie, I've never been able to understand why bad things happen to good people. I am so floored at this news that I'm kind of speechless right now.
Much love and many hugs coming your way... :loveyou:

Thanks for sharing about your experiences. I am so sorry for your loss. I became a widow unexpectedly in 2007. It is a very long difficult journey. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Thank you all for the kind words. Two weeks ago today...our anguish was just beginning. :hissy: In some ways, it seems like it's already been forever and I feel like an withered up old lady. It's hard to stand up straight, I just want to stoop over--- the weight of the grief seems like a heavy physical load.
We started grief/bereavement counseling today. I think it's going to help, although she warns us that the pain will get worse before it gets better. How could it possibly hurt any worse than it does at this moment?? :(
