Still One Day At A Time

[In Memory]

I am a widow of eight months. My husband of almost nine years was tragiacally killed in a industrial accident and my four children and I miss him dearly.
The Lord has been my strength through this ordeal, for which I am truly blessed.
My husband favourite text, which is also mine is "Be Still, and know that I am God".
It has been a constant reminder of who is in control. My husband and I were looking forward to going to Heaven, we just didn't know when, and I am truely blessed to know that he did not suffer(I went to work with him that morning and I saw the scene after it happend.) . The Lord took him straight home where he is singing praises. My children and I look forward to joining him there one day.
It's not easy with four young children, but the Lord has given me strength each and every day.

Thanks for sharing. You were only married 2 years more than me. My journey of widowhood began 6 weeks ago tomorrow. It still feels weird, and I miss so many little things. Still going through a lot of firsts; there hasn't been a holiday yet. We didn't have kids, but I have a dog, who is now more protective of me, and he's such a comfort.
I look forward to reading more from you. How did you do for holidays; like Valentine's Day, or Easter? Have you had birthdays/anniversary without him yet? Does the season changes seem overwhelming? Did you have to go back to work after being a stay-at-home mom? Do people ask you weird questions?
How have things been with your family, and in-laws?

I have through everything but my birthday and my husbands, along with Thanksgiving and Christmas. Famliy bought me roses for Valantines and his parents brought flowers on our anniversary, along with another family.
It's still hard, I am not looking forward to Christmas because my husband always enjoyed that time of year, and usually took time off for us and friends...
I am planning on contuning to stay at home. My husband and I were self-employed making it possible to work out of the home and now that I've sold the company (I was not able to keep the Company running as a profit as my husband was the primary technician) I am still able to work at home for which I am very thankful for. - we'll see where that goes at the end of the year - (I'm contracted till then.)
Relationships with both sets of parents are different. His parents, they lost a son and have been trying to be too overly helpful, and my parents - well there were differences with them before my husband was killed.
I am a bit of an independent person, and I guess I am trying to continue that way.
