I’m so sorry that you have lost your beloved partner and that your children have lost their mum.
This will be so hard for you all as you try to get through each day - and that is all you should try to do at the moment - get through a day or an hour at a time.
Lean on those around you and ask for help with the kids so you have some time to grieve for yourself. I know it’s difficult but they will need you to be there for them and help them navigate the next few months and onwards until it starts to get a little easier. But you also need to look after yourself.
I have no magic answers sadly and have been struggling to manage my kids emotions as well as mine since he passed almost 5 months ago.
But they are so important to me, as I’m sure your kids are to you, so we just have to take it a day at a time and do the best we can on any given day. And try not to be too hard on ourselves if we get it wrong, or break down, as that’s ok. We are all trying to navigate this nightmare best we can.
Sending some strength to you all xx
