Sharon, so sorry for the loss of your daughter. You should be proud of her accomplishments as it takes a lot to do what she did, serving her country and going on to be a doctor. Your son sounds special too!
Sonya - glad you made a new friend!

Thank you sandiluvsbears, debora18, and redcardinal bird.
Yes, losing a child is a very difficult thing to go through. But life does go on and we do adjust.
It all takes time. I lost my second husband seven years ago. He had left the house to go to work. When I went out to the mail box later in the morning, I found him dead in his truck. One foot on the ground and keys in his hand.
Massive heart attack. Very unexpected. That was a hugh adjustment. We never get over these things. We adjust to them.
We never forget. They live on in our hearts.

My goodness Sharon, finding your DH dead? That has got to be hard! I remember when my DH's aunt and uncle were driving on vacation when his uncle had a heart attack while driving. His wife, DHs aunt had to try and drive the car and stop it. Bt the time she got the car stopped and tried CPR, it was too late. She was a nurse too. Time is really the only thing that heals things like this. You never get over a death, but the stings does get better. I wish you well.
I remember standing there shaking him and yelling wake up, you can't do this to me.
Then I called 911 and they said they would send the coroner and call the ambulance to pick up us body and the funeral home. Then I had to go out and stay with him until somebody got there because you cannot leave a dead body alone .
His mother lived right next door and I was thankful she was at church making quilts. A neighbor heard the call on his scanner and came right over. I asked him to go to the pastors house, tell him what happened and together go over to the church. As soon as Helen saw them she knew something terrible had happened. One of the ladies drove her home and another lady followed in Helen's car as they would not let her drive.
I remember feeling absolutely numb for days.

Wow Sharon, I can only imagine. I know there are very strict laws concerning a corpse.According to the law, you can be arrested for abusing a corpse. I remember when a feneral home hadn't received complete payment the day before the funeral was due, so they actually dumped the body on the son's porch!!! To make a long story short, the funeral home was cited and someone there was arrested for "abuse of a corpse." I can only imagine how horrifying it was for the son.
Well, I've got to hit Walmart and get some heavy duty paper clips for my lecture notes so I can get back and take a bath and get ready for bed.
