[QUOTE="janebrain, post: 236091, member: 3208"] Hi Linda, no real answers but I do understand, my husband died as well. My kids were 12, 8 and 5 at the time. I felt like I had nothing left and in fact I kind of acted like a single person for about a year. I knew intellectually that you are not supposed to make any big decisions in the 1st year and yet I began dating a few months after my husband's death and became seriously involved with a guy who had 4 kids and was totally wrong for me. Luckily it didn't last. I think I became a stranger to my kids during that time, I was not myself at all--or rather I was myself but was disregarding the fact that I was still a mom. I know so well your feelings about people saying it takes time and it's only been 2 weeks. That is how I felt too--like, okay, it takes time but my gosh time is moving so slowly, how will I ever get through the 1st month, let alone the 1st year? It just seems there is nothing that anyone can do or say that really helps. Take care, we are all thinking of you. Keep coming here and talking, maybe it will help some and in the long run I think it will help a lot. Jane [/QUOTE]
