So I've just been notified...

[singledad]

... that my wife's life insurance is in my bank account.

Its really over. I don't think I've felt this alone since I met her. And I'm not good at handling alone.

I don't really know why I'm posting this... just needed to tell someone I guess...

[NinJaBob]

I'm sorry

[IADad]

glad you did post, we're here to share struggles joys and sorrows.

Sorry, for you to have another event happen, i'm sure it brings up a lot of reminders and stresses the finality of it all.

Maybe try to think of it as her loving touch ffrom beyond, the assistance that's going to help you raise your daughter, who is, perhaps her greatest legacy.

I'm sorry, but as IADad said, that's going to help your family. It's your wife's contribution to help ensure her family's success.

That, yes.
You know, until yesterday, when I got home at night, I always half-expected her to be waiting for me. Now its real. I think thats why it got to me - that was the last technicality. But yes, I have Steffi. And yes, I'm glad we didn't cancel the insurance when she stopped working, like we wanted to. This will allow me to get rid of all the debt, which in turn will allow me to slow down my carreer a notch, and be a better parent. That has now become my new goal in life - the be the best parent I can be.

her greatest legacy - yes. I see her in my daughter all the time. She has her eyes, her hair, her quick laugh...

We'll be ok, the two of us. We have to be.

Anyway, thanks for listening, guys. I'm not always this morbid, I'll be more fun in a while, I promise.

sorry. hope the grief and all get easier for ya sooner than later.

Just try to remember, it's not just the two of you. You have your family and friends and of course the watchful eyes of an angel here to help. And to some lessere extent us. I know we can't be there to help with an errand or step in and help, but hopefully the shared insight, and well, just somebody else caring helps in some way.
