You can cope with what you lost. You have no choice. Dying is not an option. Would that do your kids any good? Everyone here knows the pain that you describe. There is no way around the pain. Only 'through' it. And it takes time. It can't be rushed. You must take positive actions during this 'time'. That means to take care of yourself first and foremost, in every way. You can't control the actions of others...but you can control your own actions. Take control of those and do something good for you with it. Live well. From here on out. No matter what.


"Always go straight forward, and if you meet the devil, cut him in two and go between the pieces." - William Sturgis, clipper ship captain, 1830's.
