[quote=Anonymous]So sorry for your and your kids' loss. I lost my husband a year ago and have two little kids. I'm still figuring it out. My older one is in therapy. I do some therapy too. I did a grief group through hospice and it was very hard but so good. When people ask if there is something they can help you with-give them ideas of what they can do. Although, I find that often neither side knows what that could be. My kids and I have a memory box where we put letters, pictures, or anything else that reminds us of dh.  We celebrate his Birthday. Holidays are hard. I find it helpful to leave home during holidays. Doing things and being busy help. As for single parenting-I haven't figured it out yet. My kids are still pretty young. It is hard. I need to make sure I have time for myself-otherwise it is not pretty. And grief comes in waves for me. Sometimes you can anticipate it, but othertimes it just crashes you down when you dont expect it. For me the hardest is to see my kids grieve. There are some organizations that help: "Caring Matters", Camp Erin. [/quote]
