my kids lost their mother (1 Viewer)

[Corporation]

I'm sorry GB.  I lifted your kids and family up in prayer.

 

[NotSmart]

I would appreciate thoughts and prayers and positive vibes for them (and for me). Thanks. Love y'all, man. 

I'm sorry man... thoughts and prayers and positive vibes all on their way for you and your kids.

I know from your previous threads that you are a good dad to them... I"m very glad they have that, especially now.

 

[comfortably numb]

May sound dumb but just remind them, they did nothing wrong and it's not their fault. 

Hang in there. It will be a bumpy ride but you guys can and will overcome 

 

[Mjolnirs]

Rough stuff, so sorry man.

 

[Clown Car]

So heart breaking. I'm so sorry. 

 

[Stoneys]

So sorry for your and your kids loss 

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Very sorry you and your kids are having to go through this, gb.  Hang in there. 

 

[bushdocda]

Damn. Good luck and bro hug, bro. 

 

[Neal Cassady]

Very sorry for you and your kids loss.

 

[RC94]

Sorry to hear that.  You and your family have my best wishes. 

 

[GoBirds]

So sorry to see this, hang in there your kids need you now more than ever.

 

[McJose]

Damn, man.  Good luck with your kids and stay strong for them.

 

[Psychopav]

Set up some counseling with your kids, seriously.  They are at a really vulnerable age, even if they don't think they need it, it will probably help a lot.

Sorry for your loss.

I agree. 

Thoughts and prayers for your kids and your whole family.

Keep in mind that you aren't necessarily going to see how this impacts your kids. 

Even if they look like they are coping they will still get immense benefit from counsiling. There is a lot more going on in their brain than they may let on. 

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Just saw this.  Please accept my condolences and good wishes for you and yours.

 

[El Floppo]

Was thinking about you and your kids all weekend. Hope you, and especially they (no offense) are doing ok after this news has set in.

Continued hugs to you and yours.

 

[Kanil]

Sorry to hear about that, Colonel.  Hold your kids close.  It sounds like you've been doing the right things so far.  Keep following that course.

Service was today. Two BUSLOADS of kids from my kids' school showed up and it was standing room only in the chapel. My son at one point whispered to me "Dad, there's a lot of people in here. They can't even sit down." I said "Yep, bud, they're all here for you and your sister. You have a lot of people that love you."  At one point each of my children were literally surrounded by their respective classmates, and you could just feel the love in the room. It was quite moving and something I won't ever forget, and I don't think they will either. 

Thank you all again for the well-wishes. Much love to my FFA fam.

For sure. My eyes feel like sandpaper today. I also wrote a little tribute to my ex-wife (was probably the hardest thing I've ever done) and had the pastor read it at the end of the service. I wanted to make sure my kids knew without a doubt, regardless of the circumstances, that she loved them, and that she was a good-hearted person. That's who I want to remember and that's who I want them to remember.

Wow....why were the school kids there? Was that arranged with you?

If my estranged mother had died when I was a kid......I'm just not sure if I would have wanted the whole school to come to her funeral. But maybe that's just me.

 

[cockroach]

hugs, man... sorry to hear.

It's a private school. It wasn't mandatory or anything. They (school administration) offered to take any of the kids that wanted to go and support their classmates. From the looks of it, I'd surmise that they all did. My kids definitely seemed relieved to see their friends there.

Wow.  Your kids have wonderful friends, which reflects well on them.  I'm glad they had that support.

Just seeing this today.  So sorry to hear this, NRJ.  Warmest thoughts and prayers to you and your children.  I lost my mother when I was 16 and it was tough.  Now that my children are older and have their own children, I find I miss her very much still, wishing she could see her grandchildren and great grands grow.
