I am sad today. Yesterday my sister in law passed away. She had just turned 44. She had a blood clot in her heart. I know there is a fancy name for it, but I don't remember it right now. I know she is with our Lord, and probably yelling at us to stop being so sad, but I can't help feeling this way. Her youngest is 18, and while that is better than a younger child, she is completely devastated. She is mad at God right now, and I'm praying for her to get past that. She has been so sheltered, and it just isn't fair that she lost her mom. Mom won't be there at her wedding, when/if she has children, the list goes on.
I feel bad for the other 2 kids too. The boy tried so hard. He performed CPR, to no avail. I know he is thinking "I should have done more", but realistically, there wasn't any more he could do.
And the oldest. She is getting her life in order, branching out on her own, but always comes home to the nest. Mom was the real reason. Now they have only their dad.
I also put myself in this situation. What would I do if I lost my husband? I would be 100% completely Lost without him. I think God is reminding me of this, and to not take him for granted, and to understand that he isn't perfect either, but that I must accept that.
That's a heavy load for a Friday.

Hi DF. Any updates on how the kids are doing now, a few months after their mom passed away?
The kids and hubby are doing ok. We had Easter together, and it was really tough. Even with 20+ people, there was a big hole in the house. The son is having the hardest time it seems. He is in limbo, sort of. The youngest daughter works with me, and she's keeping busy, and going on a mission trip to Asia, which is scary, but something she and her mom were going to do. She leaves the day I get back from Aruba.
