It will get harder before it gets better. Unbearable at times.  Some days you will feel like you can’t go on, most days, every day for a while.

You will feel guilty when you smile or laugh. But remember, it will be okay. You will wish it was you and not him. You will be so incredibly angry. You will cuss, a lot. But remember it will be okay.

 

Some days you won’t be able to get out of bed, but you will make yourself because you remember, it will be okay. You will question yourself as you start to move forward. You will question everything. You will wonder if each and every decision you make is the right one.

 

You will put on a strong, happy face when you are out and about then you will go home and sob. But remember it will be okay.

 

Every “first” without him will absolutely suck. But you will get yourself through it. You will be strong for your children during the day and break down when they sleep.  

 

You know it will be okay because it’s what God promises. HIS STORY NEVER ENDS IN ASHES.
