Hi @Leeanne1
I'm so sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine the pain and heartache you must be feeling with your husband's funeral approaching. It’s completely understandable that so much is going through your mind during this incredibly difficult time.
Wanting to feel connected to your children during this moment of grief makes perfect sense. Sometimes, just being together, even in silence, can help. I hope you find the connection with your children your're longing for.
Please remember to be kind to yourself as you navigate these next few days. Allow yourself to feel whatever comes up, and give yourself permission to ask for the support you need - from those who care about you. You don’t have to carry all of this alone.
I hope you find moments of peace and connection in the midst of your grief.
With heartfelt sympathy
Alisse

I'm so sorry for your loss @Leeanne1. Remember to take good care of yourself throughout the incredibly tough time and take as much time as you need for yourself to grieve. And please don't feel like you need to go through this alone.
I hope you can get that connection with you children, it would obviously help all of you through difficult time. I know in my family, on a couple of occasions, a funeral has allowed people to let got of issues of the past and come together and become closer as a result.
We're here if you need any support or just someone to listen as you prepare for Monday. You're not alone, so reach out at any time.
Take good care of yourself @Leeanne1.

Hey @Leeanne1 ,
I'm hearing your concerns about your children being there but they may not speak to you. These are very reasonable concerns.
We have to remember that everyone has their own way of grieving. I cannot say whether they will or they won't speak to you. Whatever it is, know with an open heart that you will receive and accept them whenever they are ready to talk to you.
Everyone has made mistakes in the past. Once they know this, it will be an eye-opener.
I hear you pain, your stress and your anxieties. We are here for you.
Thank you for trusting the community in reaching out at this vulnerable time.
