I just got word from my wife that he mom died. I've never been through anything like this before. I'm not upset that she died, in fact I'm angry at her. She did it to herself with her life choices and she won't get to be a grandmother to her 3 grandkids. My heart is broken for my wofe who at 25 years of age shouldn't have to go through this. That's what's killing me. I need prayers badly that I can be there for her.
I'm very sorry for your loss. Condolences to you, her, and your family. Prayers sent. My advice is not to say or share the thought I put in bold above, even if that's what your wife thinks/says. Even if it's the truth, it does no good saying it. Tell your wife that losing a loved one isn't something you try to get over because you never will. Losing a loved one is something you learn to deal and cope with. Tell her you love her and you're there for her. That's all you can do.
Prayers up to you and yours Dan. My mom passed away 10 years ago today when I was 19. It definitely is something that I don't wish upon anyone to go through.
Prayers sent. My dad passed away last year (I was 25 at the time)... There really are no words to help someone get through the loss of a parent at such a young age. I pray that you both find strength to make it through this difficult time.
Prayers for you and your wife. Together you and your wife have the strength to make it through the toughest of times!
Dan, I don't know what the poor choices were that you mention, but if she had an addiction problem or something of the sort, while it's easy to sit back and be angry, addiction can be VERY difficult to overcome, add to addiction other problems such as depression or any other psychiatric problem, and that adds to the difficulty. While you feel some anger, be sure to be a very supportive and loving husband to your wife and the rest of the family as now is the time that they need it the most. Try to find a way to channel that anger into doing something positive....
