WAW call me early this morning to tell me her grandmother finally lost her battle with cancer. I wish I could be with her to comfort her. This is going to very tough on my D18. My S16 will be less affected. My kids have never dealt with the death of someone that close to them, and having it happen the same week their parents separate is really tough.
I spoke with WAW briefly, talked to my kids about the death and then came in to work. I want to "be there" for my WAW, but I think it's best to let her decide how much she wants from me. I don't want to make her uncomfortable.
This has been a tough week so far, but I am surprised at how well I am handling the separation. The anticipation was worse than the reality so far. Not sure, if it's me or the Prozac kicking in.
