Well it has been 21 days since my husband accident and 13 days since his funeral. Family has all went back home and back to their lives. I am left to figure out how to live life without him. I am so grateful and thankful for the friends I do have they have been by my side ever since.
My neighbor and I started out as neighbors and through this have become very close friends. They have been my rock through all this. I've been thinking about what to do from here. Im waiting to hear back if the people that own the house the we are currently renting will sell it to. If they do then thats what I plan on doing and upating a few things and doing the yard up like my husband and I had often talked about.
If for some reason it doesnt work out then I will start looking for something to buy. That was one of our goals and something he wanted for us more than anything. We had decided that we would stay for the lenght of lease and if it all worked out buy it if not starting shopping around. I have that much sorted out everything else Im just not sure yet.
This week I guess I am going to try and get back into some sort of routine for the kids and I. It helps if I stay busy I am ok during the day but night time is when it's really hard. Thank you all so much for all your kinds words of support it really means a lot to me.

Having support will help a great deal and having the kids to care for will also help you through the grief.

Just remember that he will always be looking down on you and the kids. When I was 20 I lost a boyfriend to leukemia and I was lucky to have a lot of friends to get me through it.

Just take one day at a time. It is not going to be easy but you and your kids will find a routine that works for all of you. I think it is good that you are planning on buying a home for all of you to live in. He would be so proud of you and how you are dealing with things. You are in my thoughts and prayers every day. We are always here for you and to support you and help you in anyway that we can.

It is good to hear that your neighbors has been your rock through this phase of your life. They help you go through it easier at the least. 
I pray that you will get what you wish to do.

Hi, @WinterRea . Just dropping by to see how you're going. I reviewed some of my recent response posts. And yours is one that I'd love to pursue knowing about after the passing of your husband. Which reminds me of giving my widowed Mom a call soon.
Lots of hugs and love to you, Rea.
