        The honest answer is, "No, the kids aren't enough to make me happy" AND THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. I hope after at least one or two kids move out, this woman can have some time for herself, to figure out what she needs to be happy again. Probably with some therapy.

        ...I feel like that was a selfish thing for her son to ask, esp if it was not long after he passed. The relationship you have with your kids is not the same as that with your spouse and can’t replace it. Your kids also don’t typically support you like your spouse does.

        If this lady reads this, I’d like to beg her to get counseling to help process her grief. It’s not going to go away on its own. You deserve to mourn your husband and the life you should have had together. Having a safe place to release that will really help.

        The BEST thing you can do for your kids is to have the meltdown. You'll give them permission to hurt, which is normal and healthy cuz they lost their father! A parent's job is never to prevent kids from suffering but to be with them through it God bless ur good intentions though.

        Poor lady. That was an unfair question for the son to ask. Of course, it’s not something he know the answer to until he’s experienced more in life.

        You're right in a way of course but it's not a question of fairness. He's a boy and still processing his own grief for his father's death and he can't handle his mother's on top of that.

        Thank you for your courage, lovely mama. Now I’m going to call my friend who lost his wife very suddenly, when his kids were in middle school, and who has done exactly what you’doing. I’m going to tell him he’s a hero and I love him, and I’m here.

        My brother & I were in high school when our dad died, 3 months after being diagnosed. It's been 21 yrs & my mom still gets teary sometimes. But time can heal. Maybe not always. For us it did. Now we just have memories. I wish I'd seen a counselor back then, though. #regrets

        My heart goes out to her. She’s taking on both mom & dad rolls while grieving. Hoping one day she can feel some happiness & fulfillment.
