It is comforting to know that I am not alone. There are other people, just like me, raising young children alone. Their stories and the articles from Hope For Widows give me hope and strength to keep putting one foot in front of the other. I am reminded that it is o.k. to not be o.k. Sometimes I think I am doing so well and no longer need support, and then the week comes with the anniversary of his death and his birthday within three days of each other and I find myself right back in the middle of my grief. It is then that I look to Hope for Widows for comfort. I will persevere for my children and for myself and to honor the memory of my beloved Jim.
