Thanks everyone for the comments and emails! It means a lot to me.
It’s kind of interesting how grief hits your differently….When my mom first died, I was ok and dealt with phone calls and emails in Denmark, then this week I was more sad about everything! Little things would trigger me and I’d get sad and start crying. Making breakfast the other day I just had a thought “oh I gotta remember to tell my mom about this on Friday when I call her” (my weekly phone calls to her), or Dan mowing the lawn, then I started worrying about how I’m going to be able to maintain the yard when he’s gone! I can’t do it all!! Or the girls bickering and I snap at them, how can I do all this if it’s just me and the two girls (figuring Solveig will be probably out of the house by then)…..All of this really sucks!!
I keep my faith and pray, but it’s so hard! I feel like Job in the bible!! and then ask WHY?? I may not know why yet or ever.
We DID have a somewhat normal school week and I got to sew a little bit too, so I feel a bit more NORMAL!
Right before Easter, Dan is going back for more tests and doctor’s visit, we’ll see what they say.

Oh Bea, God’s got this. It is so hard in the moment to be strong. That is why He is our strength. I will keep praying for you.

I will be praying for you & your family every day!
Keep your chin up, Bea! God knows and He is keeping you and your fam close to His heart! ❤️
Sorry for all the stress you are going thru. I remember when my grandmother died. I’d think of something, then pick up the phone to call her, and remember that I couldn’t call her anymore. Then I’d cry. I’m praying for you and Dan.
Make sure you remember to take some time to take care of yourself. Big hugs.
