First off, I am so sorry to hear this story. It is so sad but one thing you need to do. You need to stay strong for your children. They are the most important thing now in your life and they need you to be there for them. If you are so upset, then talk to someone. It is hard loosing someone you love and especially like this. But, talk to someone. And stay strong for those kids. Don't give up hope. I think you need to talk to the doctor or go to a psychologist so you can help yourself for you and your children. I am not saying forget your husband due to you will never forget him. He will be in your heart forever but it is hard to loose one parent, do not let your children loose another.
thanks to the both of u...i really appreciate it..i am trying to stay strong and be patient so i can care for my children...it is very hard but this is God's choice..i will never forget my first loved and i hope he is the last loved one:') no man can be a man like my husband he did so much for us and i hope the drunk driver gets a lifetime in prison for taking my husbands life away and for letting my children and i suffer in this world all alone:'( thanks again
be strong if you have a great deal of pain maybe you can seek out some counseling for severe depression ok :)
