    I just read your blog and I couldn't imagine going through that. My family's prayers are with you in this time. You need to grieve and talking about it helps.

    The Compassionate Friends is an amazing support group for grieving parents of all types and all ages. I strongly recommend you find a group near you and pay them a visit.

    Do give yourself a chance to grieve and be gentle with yourself. When you are ready to focus your energy on getting back in shape, you can do that, but for now, I think you might need to focus on grieving. A professional therapist really would be an excellent thing, too.

    My deepest sympathies re: your loss. I can't even imagine how heartbroken you must feel.

    I am a bereavement recovery (BR) facilitator. There are classes like mine all over North America. They are free and the volunteers are very well trained. Please do yourself a HUGE favour and look into them. Start with the hospital nearest you. If they can't direct you to a BR class, phone a hospice or funeral home. Funeral directors are usually very keen on where to find a class. Finally, understand that most ministers must take a "grief course", so call a local church. In fact, many churches themselves offer grief support classes.

    I don't know how old your daughter is, but chances are good that she is grieving, too. Rainbows International is a wonderful BR course for kids who have lost a parent or sibling through death, or even divorce. For locations near you, go to www.rainbows.org.

    God bless you on your journey. xoxox
