[#10061953]

I found Mrs G this morning peacefully sleeping in her bed for the last time. Spent all morning crying, talking to the police and paramedics. Managed to get the kids to school before getting home and breaking down completely. Didn't want them to witness all the commotion.

Completely devastated, cannot describe how i feel. Don't know how to tell the kids later, or what to tell them. Feel like my world has been ripped apart.

Don't know how i am going to carry on, how i am going to afford the funeral and lots of other things going on too.

I'm really sorry to hear that.

On a practical note, you can get a grant for a funeral if you get certain benefits or tax credit..

Mate, so sorry for your loss. don't be afraid to be honest with the kids. it'll be hard but they will be able to take it and i'm sure in time will appreciate being part of this process.

Everything must feel out of your control and up in the air but you will come through this and for the good of you and your kids you will carry on no matter how hard it is.

Just remember you're not alone and aside from the official lines of support such as posted above you have a whole load of internet strangers here who will be here for you whenever you need it.

don't be afraid to ask for help, i know in your previous thread there were offers of time and energy for you, those offers will still be there and if it makes this stressful time any easier then please do take us up on what's available

Sending you a virtual hug x

Not sure who started the other one but I'm in.

Sorry fella. If the kids are OK in school today let them have the day and you can have a few minutes to yourself.

Words can not say.

Get your kids home before school finish time.  Hug them, love them and get through it together.

Sorry for your loss 🙁

Oh no that must be awful. So sorry for your loss. Theres tears in my eyes just thinking how bad it must be right now for you.

It won’t seem like this for a while, but you’ll get through this. Why do I know this? Everyone on here who has read about your difficulties recently has noticed what a great husband and dad you are. Not just because you’ve put your family before your own interests, but because you’ve also been brave enough to share it with the rest of us. That takes real guts as guys aren’t “supposed” to talk about this sort of thing (which is changing thankfullly)

So try to stick around and let us know how things are going, even if it’s just a rant and rave about how crap things might be.  For all the petty arguments and weird things that occur on here there is a genuine caring attitude towards people who are struggling.

That is terrible. I don't have the words to say anything meaningful. They probably don't exist.

So, so sorry. If there is anything you need and I genuinely mean anything please just let me know. The Funk family is thinking about you. Big hugs to you and the kids.

Christ dude, thats a terrible place to be, go get the kids early and be honest with them, it'll hurt but they'll be okay.  kids are tough little buggers.
Seriously levels of condolences and virtual hugs.

Sorry for your loss. Having recently lost my mum I can't imagine what losing my wife would be like.

Not for today, but if you need any advice on funerals etc, PM me & I'll help as much as I can (my uncle is in the trade).

Oh man, that's the toughest thing to experience, you have my sympathies for your loss.

There's plenty of time to discuss how you continue moving forward but now isn't really the time. For the moment just take time to let yourself grieve and come to terms with your loss, is there anyone that can help out with the kids for a bit?

Keep in touch with us on here and have a read through the link that footflaps posted near the start of the thread.
