Autumn...you and your kids have been in our thoughts and prayers all week and will continue to be. Hang in there sweetie and know God is there with you. Grief can take a long time and be in very different ways. Take your time on your business decisions, and if you can put any of them off for now, try to. It can be hard to make the right decision when you are overcome with so much emotion. We're here for ya dear, and if there is anything we can do, just let us know! Continuing prayers and hugs....
I have been praying for warmth and comfort for you guys this week, I hope all is well homewise, as much as it can be with the storms out east and all! HUGS and more prayers going up!
I'm doing okay. I know that God is hearing all of the prayers and helping me through. It's weird because he spent a lot of time the last 6 months in bed so in the back of my mind, that's where I keep thinking that he is. It still keeps hitting me throughout the day though. I did get some good news yesterday. 1) his company rules, and I'll be able to have his medical/dental/vision insurance for 12 months....for FREE! That is a huge relief! 2) they had told me that it typically takes 2-3 months to get the death certificate in this situation. Well...of course I couldn't really handle ANY business because everyone wants the certificate. So I was scared and worried but decided to hand it over to God. He wil take care of us, I know this. After I did that, we got his death certificate yesterday. So now I won't have to worry about trying to figure out what to do for 2-3 months until I could handle everything. For those who are curious, it was ruled as an acute coronary insufficiency with a secondary note of cancer. I have been trying to look that up for more info but can't find anything related to a cause of death. So I'm not sure if that meant he had a heart attack or if his heart just stopped beating. Either way, I do know that he went to sleep and left this world peacefully, and I take comfort in that. Thank you all for your prayers! Love and hugs to you all!
Hey girly, I see you are online, just wanted to let you know I've been thinking of you. How are you and the kidlets doing? If you need ANYTHING PM me. ((hugs))
I am glad to see you on here. I have been worried about you and the children. Praying for you all. Please know that we all care and are so sorry you are having to deal with all of this. God is so good and reading your update just reminds me who is in control. I hope all the paperwork and things you have to go through won't be to stressful. We are all here for you if we can help. Beth
Does the coranory thing help with the paperwork to make things not as a preexisting thing with insurance too? Just a a thought. I was thinking about the sensible stuff as I pray asking God to make everything go in yoru favor financially so I am delighted for your post in regards to the insurance working for the next year! Thats a good thing not to have to worry about... do they have any pension that you will get? What about social security stuff? ( Sorry to be businessy but I am praying for this area for you so looking for specific stuffs to pray) ( HUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG) I am so very glad to hear that you are leaning on God to take you through this and seeing His immediate response is awesome! Keep us posted as you can so we can keep praying and let us know if there is anything else we can do! HUGS more hUGS !
The insurance and death certificate must be a real relief! Am glad his company decided to do the right thing.
Thank you guys. Today is extra hard. And our anniversary is just next month also... one day at a time. The kids gave me a million homemade cards today and put on a performance for me a little while ago. They still laugh and smile and carry on as you'd expect a 6 and 8 year old too. That is a huge help. It's hard to stay depressed or curled up in sorrow when they're making me laugh or making me sing the theme song for icarly. I worry about his mom a lot though because she's alone with her thoughts and sorrows. She is divorced and lives alone. I wish she could come stay with us for a few days because I know the laughter and comfort that God grants me through the kids would be a blessing to her as well. But she can't come to our house yet (understandable) and I can't go stay with her because of our dog and her appt is small, so there's no room for us all. It's just difficult. I wish I could do more for her. But I've been making sure to call her every day. Anyhow...I am rambling ladies. I am sorry. You know I just remembered that a week before Dwayne passed away, we were talking about you guys. I had said that I would love to travel the U.S. and do a book about interviewing different homeschoolers (the purpose being to see how diverse we all are) and I had said you guys would be perfect because I "know" you all from here and how you all are good people. I had forgotten all about that. Thank you all for your prayers and hugs. I can feel them from here, and I appreciate them!
Your kids sound so wonderful!!! I can imagine it would be hard today. Carl's father passed away this week, and I suggested he do something special today for his mom. Praying that you and your mil can be a strong support for each other!
Praying for peace and comfort and strength for you the kids and his mother as you move forward. Your kids sound like so much fun
Autumn~praying for yall that the Lord will give you strength, peace and comfort. I lost my father suddenly when I was 6 (he was a Drug agent killed in the line of duty during a drug bust), losing a parent at an early age is tough, but fortunately I was blessed with a strong, loving mother who made our lives wonderful despite our loss. May God Bless you and your family....we'll keep yall in our prayers!!!
Thinking of you girl,, You are a strong women, can you and your mil meet for lunch or something a couple days a week, so she can see the children. Children do help alot. Remember we are here for you, if you need anything.
