Ace,
Sorry to hear about the family's loss. I'll be praying for all of you. I can still recall the feelings when I got the call about my own mother's death about an hour before leaving for church on a Sunday morning.
Be sure to tell your H my thoughts and prayers are with you guys.
Let me know if there is anything I can do for you.
Mark
Thank you Mark for your prompt words of kindness. It really means alot to both of us and underscores the continued value of these MB forums.
It was a year ago today, on the last Friday of June, that my H confessed his EA after being confronted by our adult children. It has been a difficult week beginning with MIL's death on Monday.
This is as appropriate a thread as any for me to express my appreciation for these MB forums 6+ months ago, 6+ months from now and hopefully 6+ years down the road.
I don't expect many to understand, but having this 'safe' place to vent after a close family member dies is comforting. This is especially true since my absence while caring for my MIL last spring represents a trigger for my H's A.
Although I care about Aph and have been praying for her to find peace, I can't contribute to her "working on myself" thread for now. But I appreciate Mrs. W's perspective on that thread about what this MB family represents to augment our own personal families. (My H and I are not yet able to reveal this anguish of his A to anyone in our personal families....only our MC and two kids know..... + OWH 4 months ago).
Having this MB family (who know the effects of the death of blind trust/spousal faithfulness as well as the death of a loved one) is soooooo helpful.
Thanks from the bottom of my heart.
Ace and family
