It is amazing to hear that your dd is coping well. I am sure there are some rough days ahead, and I know you are the best mom she can wish for. Take good care of yourself - for you and for her, ok?

 dearest lbjnltx-

I am so very sorry for your loss. I am so very sorry for your DD's loss. My daughter was the same age, 17, when my first husband died.

You have unique strengths. However, don't try to do everything yourself and don't make the mistake I made of thinking that I was strong enough to breeze through my grief. Loss of a spouse is an exceptionally difficult situation to work through. PLEASE, when you find yourself in a low place (you will) seek help. I know of a wonderful website for young widows with a bulletin board like this one. I got through some very dark days by finding connection with other widows. I am sending you a PM for the site.

Even though, as a spouse, when there is a diagnoses of cancer we might forward our thoughts to "what if" there is truly no way to prepare for the way we feel when we experience the loss of our beloved... .I recall feeling very lost and at times so completely overwhelmed.

My nondd didn't have the added complication of mental health issues to confound her  grief and still, her life was so broken when her Dad died. My grief, her grief... .how we got through it still seems mysterious and so very hard.

Many times I felt myself unable to think, confused, overwhelmed. The gambit of emotion is hard to describe. I found it surprising and unexpected.

Please remember that I'm a message away.

Your friend,

thursday
