..... knowing what I know now, I think I'd do a couple of things differently.
Actually, I'd probably do more than a couple of things differently, but then .... who wouldn't?
I've been feeling very frustrated and very much alone in this frustration. I need to vent, but can't do it here. I wish I knew someone who was in the same situation .... a dead spouse and two very, very teenage (and grieving) people living with them.
That's all I'm going to share about that ..... I just wanted to write that much. Maybe it will help.
And then hopefully I'll get Cher out of my head because now she'll be singing that song in all of yours. :)

oh, cher. you had to say it, didn't you. it's the stuff of nightmares, i tell ya!
can't say i can help much… but just to tell you that i'm thinking of you.
have a blessed (and safe) 4th.
I find your blog such a blessing; you are so able to articulate so much of what I am feeling; you will never know how much you have helped me in my own "journey". I too am a widow, and I have one teen and one almost teen, and often feel alone. Am sure there is much i should have done differently; but not sure what that would have been.....
Janine, In someways, I am in the same boat as you, and yet others I am not, but I am still here for you to vent, ALWAYS! I don't know if you have my number yet, or if you even feel it would help, but I am here for you and I totally understand. I do have four teenage boys, and even though they don't live with me on a daily basis, they are with me weekly and quite often. I am at a loss as to things that should be shared and things that shouldn't and what should be brought up and what shouldn't and when to hold them, and when to back off, and on and on and on. I am in a much better place than where I was months ago, yet still in unfamiliar territory and I too have no one to vent or share with that understands. Again, I am here for you if ever you need me. You have helped me so much by writing this blog and knowing that we share so many of the same feelings. Hugs to you and your family Janine. Lorry
