A lot of you know I lost both of my parents last year and then my husband.
I didn't get the chance to know his family well at all. After his mom and my sister died 4 years ago we went back to PA while he went to help take care of his mom's things.
I got to meet this older brothers and sisters. Only once really, but we stayed a couple of days with his sister. She was really nice. We stayed with her and her husband, who I only saw twice and his niece.
Anyway, I had to tell his sister when he died and she told the others.
This week she called and asked how I was. I don't really have anyone to talk to about Bill but my kids and so I did my usually, I miss him so much and can't believe he's gone. The usual, because she loved him and I knew I could do that with her. She doesn't call often and I was so excited to hear from her.
Well after she did the comforting SIL thing, she told me her husband had committed suicide in Dec. I was shocked. They didn't see it coming and she's in shock and here I am telling her how aweful I feel and how lost. Well that wasn't the end of it. Bill's oldest brother has stage 4 cancer and they've given him 3-6 months! She said she hadn't called me sooner, because she knew I wasn"t doing well and she felt bad about having to let me know.
Bill was my number 3, but he was her number 1. I feel so bad and there's nothing I can do to help them. I can't even take care of us.
I was hoping that whatever you do, pray, light candles, whatever, please pray for his family. Bill wasn't really close to his family, but he really really loved them. I hate that they are dealing with all of this.
I was hoping all the bad things from last year were going to be over and this year was going ot be a little better. That I would find a way to keep us afloat and that we weren't going to go through this again, but here we go!
This forum has always been very supportive, so I'm hoping you all do add them to whoever and whatever you are already praying for.
Thanks
