Kids and meeting 

I had lunch with kids today did a little shopping with them. I think it went well but not sure what to tell them or say to them. I did tell them I Love Them and gave them hugs. Going to meet with her this week about our bills. Hope that goes good but prob. not.

From a womans perspective...I think it is important to still show your wife you care for her.Check on her & make sure she is holding up. Communicate with her. You have been with her for so long & even though she is losing her husband it would be just as hard to lose her best friend. She is probably a strong woman & can get thru this but it would help her if you stilll be a part of her life. You will be anyway due to the kids..may as well try to make the best of it. Also, why not counseling?

I believe that you have to try and keep things normal - or as normal as you can - drag 'em to HomeDepot, go to baber shop, go to the donut shop on sunday, whatever..... We had regular things (rituals) when we went to "dads house" - we'd go to the store on Friday and select an awesomely terrible frozen dinner and YOUR OWN BAG OF CHIPS. Every Saturday nite we had ice cream sundaes (make your own!). After church, we'd go to the same buffet restaurant we did when they were married (but w/o) Mom. Stuff like that seems silly to adults, but we loved it. And it added stability when we really needed it....

All you can do is give your love to your kids. Answer their questions as honestly as possible. Treat them with love and respect. And your wife, well that's kind of the same. Understand she's hurting, try to be understanding, but be sincere, otherwise it seems flippant and callous. Good luck!
