None of us knows when our time will come. This story really touched me, especially as I am a mother of three small children myself. I will keep Michael, his daughters and all the family in my prayers at this difficult time. I pray that the Lord will comfort them and give them peace.<br /><br />I have donated and shared this post too. I really hope and pray the family receive all the support they need.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00450555480439826278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7385734613853151197.post-28833660980007327242012-10-26T15:03:28.436-06:002012-10-26T15:03:28.436-06:00John thank you for putting your thoughts into word...John thank you for putting your thoughts into words something I am having a hard time doing.

After work business was done we would just sit and talk. I've been blessed enough and not have really had to deal with a loss before so I'm struggling with my emotions and how I should be feeling. I just know I'm deeply saddened and haven't stopped crying. Thank you for touching my soul Liz.

The Liz Logelin Foundation was started by a widower is a very similar situation (wife passed due to pregnancy complications) here is the application for their grants: http://thelizlogelinfoundation.org/applicants/<br />Also, the Soaring Spirits Loss Foundation is the perfect place to gain support from others who have been in his unfortunate situation. www.sslf.org and their "newly-widowed" checklist. http://sslf.org/check-list.html<br />Lastly, there are several Utah-based widows group. I help administer "WWS Utah" if you search for us on Facebook. We offer no financial assistance, just company and support. <br />Please pass this along if you can. My deepest sympathies and condolences.
