I wrote this over a year ago. It was what I did to cope with the loss of Robert, my ex husband, friend and father to our daughters. I'm updating my blog and I found this and thought....I'm going to post it because it was a trying time in my life and we did survive and are moving forward. It's not easy and life is very challenging, but it's life and reality and you have to move forward otherwise you fall to be a victim.

What do you say when your ex husband dies? How do you tell your children that they will now not see their father at all? All the emotions you have within you from sadness, to relief to anger to fear. Yes fear. What about you where do you go? How do you cope? All these questions and all this to process. For a strong woman to feel vulnerable and fearful is scary yet all things considered it is reality and you have two choices run from the fear and not deal with it or attack it head on.
