I want to kick those idiots in the shins, who does that? I wouldn't know the right thing to say to a child who lost their father, so I would probably just talk about non important stuff, like favorite colors and cartoon characters!
Can you get some sleeping pills to help while you still have family there? Ambien worked really well for me when I lost my dad (the ob prescribed it to me without me even asking). You need some rest.
PS) I am really happy to hear your eye stuff is on the mend. I hope you get the all clear at the doc today.
Please continue to lean on us. And please continue to take care of yourself and the boys first. Some moments/days/weeks/months will be easier than others, and just because things have gone back to "normal" doesn't mean your right and need to grieve has been cut off. We love you M and we are here for you.

We will always be here for you. Feel free to talk as much, or as little as your heart desires. I've continuously kept you and the boys in my thoughts. How relieving that the storm missed you! I hope returning to work provides some good distraction for you as you find your new normal. So many hugs for you and the boys.

I have been thinking about you so much and wondering how things went on Saturday. I'm glad you were able to get through your speech. It was so beautiful. I'm also glad your eyes are doing better and I don't think I was able to post on your MS scare, but I am so glad it ended up not being MS. Thinking about you all the time.
So much love and ((hugs)) to you, sweetie. We're here for you every step of the way. I wish there was something we could do to help ease the pain. You have been in my thoughts and prayers every day - strength, love, peace to you.
I'm sorry you've had to deal with the media and family no less not respecting your wishes and privacy for you and your boys.
I'm glad your eyes are doing better and that stupid hurricane missed you. Lean on us, whenever you need us.
Sending love and hugs today and in the coming days. I'm so sorry you're forced to find a new normal. I wish we could give you back your old normal. You're so strong and raising two amazing boys who will continue to bring you so much joy. Lots of love.

I'm so glad you can come here to talk, M. Everyone's already said it, but we are always here for you. I can't imagine how heavy the silence is and how hard the time is to fill now that a lot of the formalities are past, but you are taking steps and breaths every minute and doing an amazing job. I'm so relieved you weren't in the storm's path, and I'm praying your health keeps improving and that once off the steroids, you can rest a little easier. It must be so hard to relax your mind . We love you so much.
I'm praying so hard for you and the boys. I'm glad A is able to start talking about it, and I hope it's able to help you both. Talk to us as much as you want.
Continuing to send you all my love. I hope you use us all in anyway you need. We are hear if you need to cry, scream, share a story and remember what an amazing man and father Paul was.
I so wish you didn't have to find this new normal and that there was something tangible we could do to even take away even a single minute of your pain. Please lean on us as much as you need to and know you are on our hearts and minds constantly.
I keep reading your messages over and over and want to wrap you up in the coziest blanket, feed you and help you in whatever way I can. I think of you and the boys constantly, M. I was so grateful the hurricane was not a direct hit. We are always here. Love you.
You have been in my thoughts and prayers every day. I wish there was something I could do to ease some of your pain. Please use the board as an outlet, if you need it. We are here for you, no matter the time. We LOVE you and the boys, always.
