Posted by Jeff on 11/2/2006, 5:24 pm, in reply to "My wife has passed away" I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you when you came here looking for advice about telling the kids. You said below that the thought of raising them alone scares the hell out of you...but you can do it. You will learn how. Parenting is 1% instinct, 1% intellect, and 98% love - anyone can do that. You will make mistakes - we all do - but that's ok. Learn from them and go on. You can do this. Losing their mother is absolutely the worst thing that can happen to a child. But as long as they have someone who loves them unconditionally, they will be ok. Just love them. And tell them that you love them. And hug them. Every day. Jeff

I'm so sorry about your wife. I know that there's nothing anyone can say that could ever ease your pain at this terrible time, but please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your children.
Wishing you all the best.
