di- Going through all of this and having to split our children in half was not what any of us signed up for. But we have been given this cross to bare...it is how you choose to handle it that shows your character. You can lay down and let it consume you or you can choose to rise above it and show everyone (especially your children) how strong you really are. Show your children that this isn't going to break you...just as you would want them to do if they were in this situation.
Don't get me wrong...you are certainly allowed your time to grieve the lose of your family as you once knew it. You took years to build your life and it takes awhile to accept that things are not going to be the way you planned them. So allow yourself some time to grieve but then pick your up and dust yourself off and be that example of strength for your kids...and continue to do that each time you slip and fall down.
