[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 521540, member: 84"] Likely she is both in shock (yup, even knowing it's going to happen) and mad as hell at no one in particular. It's good to give her space. But I'd let her know you're there whenever she needs you to be. Such a hard thing for someone to go through at any age. My kids, I think, have dealt with the loss of husband pretty well. It [B]was[/B] the straw that broke the camel's back for easy child that drove her to seek help for the depression that has been hanging on for the past few years. But she should've sought that help a long time ago. Even when I was hurting or going through whatever emotions, I always made sure I was there to listen when they wanted to talk about their Dad. Didn't matter how hard it was for me, they needed someone to talk to as well. For these past months there has been either a deliberate or subconscious effort not to let me be alone much........if I [B]was[/B] alone, I was usually on the phone with one of them. This stems from their fears of losing me now too. Don't be surprised if this fear crops up with difficult child at some point. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
