When John passed away in 2002, what was unthinkable in the past became reality. While riding the emotional roller coaster of grieving his loss, I had to adjust to the role of sole parent of two children, one with special needs, who were grieving as well. I had to make decisions, and take action, in areas that had been handled by John, such as finances and household maintenance. At times, I despaired of how I was going to manage it all without his direction and help.
