I am so sorry for your loss, my hubby has stage four lung cancer and we are battling through this as I write. I wouldn't know what to do if I lost him but he would expect me to be strong for our daughter's and I am sure yours would want the same. Take it a day at a time and let your feelings out. Rely on others and accept help offered.
