So sorry for your loss. God grant you and yours comfort in the days and weeks ahead. Thanks for sharing so openly about all the goings on and feelings.

The Lord always changes our lives for a reason; you will find it and it will heal you and yours. May He hold you in His hands and give you peace.

I read this almost immediately after you posted it, and was honestly too dumbstruck to type anything. Condolences, and prayers for you and your children. I cannot begin to imagine these circumstances, and am glad for your knowing that it was over for her very quickly, and that she'll be able to help so many.

Like G-man, I read this a bit ago and had a hard time responding. I can't even imagine, so I'll just give my condolences and repeat the offer of anything you need. You're whole family will be in my prayers.

Having serious issues processing all of the crazy things going through my head...

Tonight I was at the mall and instead of seeing good looking women and thinking "I would love to bang that chick" I was thinking "I would love to take her to dinner"... Talking to a very dear female friend, someone who has been my late wife's best friend since childhood, I start to think all kinds of crazy things about how close her and I are, about how we have a bond that is beyond anything that I could even imagine having with anyone else... And then the thoughts start really wondering into areas that should make me feel horrible, but they dont...
