I'm really sorry to hear about your loss! I can't even imagine how you must be feeling. Everyone deals with grief differently and I hope that you are able to find a way to get through this hard time. Remember that you have to take care of yourself!
I'm sorry, I don't know about weighing meat, but hopefully someone else will have some answers for you!

Kimberly,
So sorry for your loss and the pain you are going through.
In 2004 I lost my Grandpa to Cancer, I watched him slowly die for 4 months before he passed. It is horrible to watch, but I was glad that I was blessed enough to be there on those few minutes when he would have a good moment. The same year my best friend and I...parted ways,(after being friends for over 20 years) she lost her daughter a couple of years before that and we were both handling the loss in different ways. I thought she and her husband were drinking way to much and I over stepped my boundries....my Mom has never been around, my sister and I had a falling out due to her being a meth abuser.....let's just say...I was in pain too and it took me over three years to crawl out of my depression. I had young kids at home and they needed me. I was slowly killing myself. I can't say what really made me snap out of it....I guess I was just so tired of being sick and tired! You have the strength in you, you can make it through this, your kids will follow your lead. My thoughts are with you.

You can measure your meat before or after, just log it in the way you do it. I usually log mine in cooked.
I hope your day is a good day.:flowerforyou:

As absolutely devastating as death is, when faced with it in my world (Dad and best friend died of cancer), I try and realize that I have a lot to thankful for and really need to appreciate the gift I have in my body. Especially when I look at my children and I realize that I want them to have to wait as long as possible to feel the loss of me. Maybe you can let your beautiful babies be your MOTIVATION for not "waiting for tomorrow", and starting today. And we here at MFP are more than happy to be your SUPPORT. Blog, post, or just read. Someone is always here and you will find a lot of encouragement, sympathy, and sometimes a good swift kick in the pants when it is needed. Exercise also helps in dealing with frustrations and depression as a healthy outlet.

I'm so sorry for your losses. Remember, take care of yourself first so that you can take care of everyone else.
