[QUOTE="Andy, post: 280440, member: 5096"] I am so sorry! Memories come flooding back when we are placed in or hear about similar situations. I understand that you feel your tears will give the criminal another satisfaction of hurting you. However, your tears also show others how much you did love your husband, how special he was to you. Your son needs to know that you do miss his dad and that dad will always be in your heart. True, your son will not understand your tears and may be afraid when you cry so it would be best not to cry in front of him. However, go ahead and revisit those feelings. You have supressed them and this is another healthy chance to get them out. Maybe it will help to start a journal of stories to be passed onto your son when he is older. Describe how you met your husband, how he was special to you, ect. I am so sorry for the loss of your friend's wife. He has a very hard thing to do in telling the kids - you know more about how hard than I do. I hope he has someone nearby that can sit with him. It is o.k. that it may not be you because your emotions are still very strong and may make the news harder for the kids. Give your sweet boy a hug for me. How is your son doing these days? [/QUOTE]
