How we're doing - with an extra OP!

[sunshineluv]

I am glad to hear from you. Thanks for keeping us updated, you and your boys are still on my mind a lot. Are you going back to work this week? Have you gotten any sleep?

It sounds like you are doing amazing considering the circumstances. I want to say I am proud of you, but that sounds a bit weird. I am impressed, you are showing strengths you probably never knew you had.

The anger is so normal, I have a dear friend who lost her husband in November last year. Her anger is more towards anyone who ever complains about their spouse or kids (no kids for them, they were trying).

Love you M! I will continue to pray for your sweet family.

ETA oops, I see you already said you are going back to work. I hope it is a good distraction for you. Please be kind to yourself and know when you have met your limits at work. (((Hugs))

[charmediamsure]

So much love to you, M. I am keeping you and your sweet boys in my thoughts.

[unclejesse]

I'm still thinking of you guys often. Please keep sharing your thoughts with us, we are here for you.

[thedahliharpa]

Thanks for updating M.

It's o.k. to be angry, even really f-ing angry.

I hope tomorrow and your work week goes o.k. It makes sense you are thinking ahead but it's ok not to make those decisions for awhile. You'll know when you are ready.

Memory boxes with boys sounds like a great idea. I'm glad you have that extra support set up for them.

Hugs

Memory boxes are a great idea. Never be afraid to talk about him to the boys. Especially stories of him and the boys. My mom coped with my dad's death by ignoring that he ever existed. I can't tell you what he looked like.

Please feel everything you like. It's okay to be angry. I hope that this week goes ok. Still thinking of you and the boys daily.

[laurensmomma]

You and the boys have been on my mind. I'm so thankful you have your neighbor there. Big hugs.

[carawestt]

Thank you for the update. Memory boxes for the boys is such a nice idea, I'm glad your neighbor is there as extra support. You are handling everything so well, considering what has happened, and feeling angry is okay. Don't feel like you need to make any big decisions just yet. I hope work goes alright.

So much love to you, M.

[jsillyfun]

I think the memory boxes are a wonderful idea. It's ok to be angry. I would be angry too. I've been thinking so much about you guys and will continue to pray for you.

[ashleydl83]

You and the boys are on my mind so much, and I pray for you often. I can't imagine how scary the future is, but know that we will always be here for you. Love you, M.

[TrudyCampbell]

Thanks for checking in! I haven't stopped thinking about you and the boys. I am glad they sound like they're doing as well as can be expected. I know there's a lot of things that you're worried about for the future, but whats important right now is that you just take care of yourself and survive. I hope going back to the routine is good for all of you. Sending all my love.

[fusion]

:Hugs: I'd be furious too, I'm sorry. I'm glad the boys are doing well and everything else will come more clearly as time passes. I hope your return to work isn't too stressful.

[katie]

I'm glad you checked in, I was hoping you would. You've been on my mind and I know it's tough. We are here for you, whatever you need. I think everything your feeling is to be expected. Please take care of yourself ((hugs))

[TrudyCampbell]

Oh and it's okay to be angry! I would be so angry too. I am angry for you. It's all just so unfortunate and whatever you're feeling about it is okay.

[imimahoney]

Oh M, everything you are feeling is completely normal. I'm so happy to hear that the boys are doing ok and have a strong support with your neighbor. It will do the world of good for them.

You can feel angry, sad, or frustrated. Don't ever feel guilty about that. And you do whatever you may need to do with the house to keep your family ok.

The memories yoy have will last a lifetime, even if you move on from the physical space.

You are continually in my thoughts. So many creepy Internet hugs to you.

[jaime183]

We are (someone is) here for you any time of day

[kandrze1]

I would be angry too. Huge hugs. I'm glad the boys are doing okay.

[bebeetmoi]

So glad you checked in.

Making memory boxes sounds like a wonderful idea, I'm so glad to hear your neighbor is so thoughtful & helpful.

And ditto what some other ladies said-- you have every right to be angry.

Continuing to send you so much love and you & the boys remain in my thoughts...

[sandj82110]

So many hugs to you and the boys.

[ashleydl83]

We love you, M <3

[blane12]

I don't blame you for being angry. I would be too. i am so glad the boys seem to be adjusting. You guys will help each other through this and will keep his memory alive and will always remember how much he loved you. My heart aches for you guys. I hope the transition back to work goes smoothly. I am happy we were able to bring a little sunshine in your life, and hope it helps. We all love you and the boys so very much, and are here for you anytime.

[ktstorm]

I'm keeping you and the boys constantly in my thoughts and prayers. I'm glad to see you checked in, and your neighbor sounds like a wonderful lady with some great ideas for the boys and you. All of your feelings and thoughts are valid, and you have every right to be mad. Sending you so much strength and love for the upcoming week, just one step at a time. Lots of love to you.

How is your eyesight doing now? Hopefully all cleared up.
